776: Sessladalpen Tour

Difficult Sessladalpen Tour

A beautiful circuit encompassing a challenging ascent up to the beautifully situated Obere Sessladalpe. From the point in Kappl, the route follows a steep section up to the forest and then along a leisurely stretch to the Ruhesteinkapelle chapel, an idyllically located treasure which you come across around 2.5 km into the ride. At the following crossing, bear left and after crossing the Sessladbach, take the long ascent up along some pleasant forest paths through the Sinser Wald forest. At the bend after approx. 7 km, turn off right onto a cart path which follows a somewhat wild and overgrown course across some very steep slopes and across to the Untere Sessladalpe. The ascent up to the Obere Sessladalpe presents a sporty challenge due to the 370 m elevation gain over 2.6 km but is well worth it thanks to the dreamy panoramic views.

The return journey runs along the same route to the Untere Sessladalpe and from here through the Wolfgangwald forest back to Kappl.

The autoroute (A12 (westbound) or A14 (eastbound)) leads you to the Arlbergschnellstraße (S 16). At the exit for Pians, turn onto the Paznauntalstraße (B 188) and follow its course into the Paznaun.

Underground parking at the community center.
Further parking in Kappl village at the Pardeck (opposite Camren's Pizzagrill) or below the bakery Wechner.

With the railway station in Landeck, the Paznaun is optimally connected to the Austrian train network. From Landeck-Zams station, only a short bus ride separates you from the Paznaun. Every half hour, line bus 260 runs from there through the valley. Bus stop: Kappl Dorf
