Walk to Wenns
Route: Zams – Pitztal Valley
In Zams, take the Venet cable car to the Venet plateau; the cable car runs every half an hour from 8:00. From the cable car station, the path slopes down to Wenns im Pitztal.
Our route takes you from the Venet cable car station on a panoramic path via the Goglesalm and Galflunalm lodges. The original E5 route takes you over the summit of Glanderspitze (Venet) and Kreuzjöchl and then down into the valley via a very steep, eroded path. Both routes converge shortly before you reach Galflunalm Lodge.
From Larcher Lodge, the original E5 route descends on a road. Our route takes you via the “Old Lodge Road”. This route offers outstanding views of the surrounding countryside, and is recommended in dry weather. If it is raining, the paths that run via the lodges can be very slippery. In wet conditions, we recommend that you stick to the road.

Always allow plenty of time for your hike. The walking times indicated do not include breaks. Rest and photo breaks must be added to the times indicated.
Check the latest weather information and be on the lookout for changes in the weather. Storms can develop rapidly in the Alps.
