Details
This route can only be used to make a short cut in the walking time. First you have to take the public bus #463 to the Furkelpass at the ski mountain Kronplatz. This bus leaves once an hour from St. Vigil. Or individually with a taxi.
At the bus stop at the Kronplatz gondola Ruis a good 200 metres northwards and after the two reservoirs turn right onto the Knappensteig #3b through the Silaner forest. Pass the Schüssels hut and shortly afterwards at the hunting lodge (both not managed) to the right on path #32 over the Lapedurscharte down to the idyllically situated Fojedöra alp. This exemplary alp is well worth a stop!
The path into the Braies Valley goes between the 3 huts down via trail #19. Approx. 2 km somewhat steep, therefore sticks are highly recommended!
Arriving at the wooden hut "Alt Kaser", the forest path leads pleasantly flat through the Grünwaldtal valley out to the very popular and well-visited jewel Pragser Wildsee lake.
On the northern shore, where the historic hotel stands, there is a bus stop from which a bus leaves several times an hour. Just before the bus stop by the kiosk, trail #1 Vial Alpina leads east from the stream out into the Braies Valley.
