Jochwaal di Tarres

Path no. 2A

A unique loop trail: Sure-footedness is required to reach this Waal trail, one of the highest in the entire Alps. Tarscher Jochwaal, no longer in use nowadays, was originally built in the 18th century.

Refreshment stop:
Latscher Alm hut, Tarscher Alm hut and Tarscher Alm mountain restaurant

Water course:
No water flow

Directions

From the Tarscher Alm hut on the forest trail to the Zirmruanhütte hut (no service). Turn right on Alpine Trails towards Tarscher Joch. At the weather cross, continue on trail #2A, the Hochwaal trail. The fairly flat trail tracks the remnants of the old channel, originally directing water from Ulten to the Vinschgau valley side. Shortly before Latscher Joch (2,500 m), make a fairly steep descent northward back to your starting point.
