Cross-country skiing holidays in Vals

Here’s a foretaste

With a total length of 5 kilometres and a 60-metre elevation gain, the circular cross-country ski trail in Vals winds through vast meadows and woods covered in generous snow. The starting point is right by the Jochtal lift valley terminal.

The circular XC ski trail in detail

One of the best things about cross-country skiing is that it gives you plenty of opportunity to soak up the idyllic snowscape around as you rhythmically slide your way along this meticulously maintained trail, which is suitable for both skating and classic styles.

The point where you cross the Vallerbach stream is just below the Kurzkofelhütte hut, where you can grab a bite before continuing. After the turning point at the Kurzkofelhütte, the trail runs for about 500 meters over gently sloping terrain back to the valley station of the Jochtalbahn.
