Stieralm

Highlight • Mountain Hut

The Stieralm offers a great opportunity to take a break on the way to the Plamort or Bunker Trail and lets you recharge your batteries if you want to jet down the Bergkastel Trail.

The hut is operated by Nauderer Bergbahnen AG. You can find information about opening hours on the website of the TVB. Unfortunately, it is not possible to stay overnight unless you bring your sleeping bag and spend the night on the terrace under the starry sky. ;)

Plamort Trail – Upper Section

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

This flowing S1 trail leads from the Stieralm pasture past numerous North Shore wooden elements through the forest down to the idyllic Plamort high moor plateau. It's a lot of fun!

National border

Highlight • Monument

The Austrian-Italian border is marked up here by a fence. As a border crossing is a gap in the fence, which is provided with a wooden bridge - probably so no cows over the border run. Anyway, it's fun to drive over it.

Plamort Anti-tank Barriers

Highlight • Monument

The anti-tank barrier at Plamort is part of the Vallo Alpino (Alpine Wall). The line of fortifications were built between the 1920s and 1942 but were never fully completed. It was intended to secure the border regions to France, Yugoslavia, Switzerland and also the future ally – the German Reich. The relationship between the two fascist states of Mussolini and Hitler was not based on close trust. For this reason, between 1938 and 1942, the construction of the border fortifications of the Alpenwall in South Tyrol was promoted. This also includes the system at the Reschenpass and Plamort.

Construction was stopped only on October 4, 1942, after Hitler had announced to his buddy Mussolini at the Brenner station that he would respect the borders of South Tyrol and that it would remain Italian. In 1943 Mussolini was deposed and an armistice was declared towards the Allies. After the subsequent declaration of war on the German Reich, the Wehrmacht marched into South Tyrol. The fully functional system of anti-tank obstacles, bunkers, roads for supplies and command posts at Plamort was handed over without a fight.

A support association offers interested visitors guided tours through the labyrinths of military installations and the museum in the Etschquelle bunker no. 20. Information is available here: vinschgau.net/de/service-info/aktuelles/alle-veranstaltungen.html?eventid=d4deff3b2b624c489b97884f29bb294d.

Plamort Viewpoint of Lake Resia

Highlight • Viewpoint

The so-called "Poserfelsen" is the photo spot par excellence on the three-country enduro trails. Below you can see the Reschensee, on the left side of which the Grauner church tower in the lake treats itself to a bath. In the background, with hopefully good visibility, you can see the Ortler, which is easy to see with its massive ice armor. At 3,905 meters, it is the highest mountain in South Tyrol.

Viewpoint with World War II bunker

Highlight • Viewpoint

There are still so many old bunker systems from World War I and World War II in this region. Whereby this comes from the 2nd. Some are really well hidden.

June 19, 2025,Stieralm Runde
A nice introductory loop. The first few kilometers are all uphill (strenuous), but once you get to the top, and of course the route there, it's fantastic! The first part of the descent is peppered with easy jumps (small kicks), after which it continues at a very flowing pace. You can extend the route to any difficulty level; we opted …

Final tour through two regions🇦🇹🇮🇹🙄
From Nauders up to the Stieralm, after a refreshment😁, we continued up to the Bergkastel ⛰️. From here, the Single Zirm Trail leads down to the Stieralm, where the Plamort Trail starts☺️. This flowing trail features ups and downs and many wooden elements, passing the famous tank barrier of the Plamort raised bog and ending …

From Nauders over the forest path almost to the mountain station of the Bergkastellbahn, before turning off in the direction of Plamort - over the (very easy) trail to the Plamort plateau with the anti-tank barriers. Continue to the lookout rock with a great view over Lake Reschen 😎.
Then down to Reschen - with a detour to the source …

Breathtaking tour with the challenging Almtrail and the scenic Plamorttrail. The gondolas had already stopped operating ... we were ALONE with 2 other mountain bikers 😇🌞👍😍

We were so lucky with the weather 😎☀️. Unfortunately it was already quite cold and the snow line was very low for the time of year. Many thanks to BH-Bikes and Moustache-Bikes, who provided enough eBikes.

The Schönebenbahn car park was the starting point for today's tour. Directly in Reschen, we first walked along the lake before heading up the slope to Plamort. The weather was at its best again today 🤗
The view of the lake and the surrounding mountains was simply amazing 😊
After the obligatory pictures at the Aussuchtsfelsen and the tank barriers, …

Great tour with a pleasant shady uphill, which is highly recommended at these temperatures. Good food on the Stierenalp 😋 to take the downhill under the wheels after the magnificent view. Well, I couldn't drive everything, too many stimuli one after the other😵‍💫, but it was still a lot of fun😁. And at any time you can leave the trail …
