Partschins Waterfall – from the Texelbahn valley station

The Partschins Waterfall is considered the landmark of the village and a must-see for visitors. Its powerful cascade creates a fine spray that provides a refreshing atmosphere and is known to have a beneficial effect on the respiratory system. The hike combines well-maintained paths with shaded forest sections and leads to one of the most impressive natural spectacles in the area.

The starting point and destination of the hike is the valley station of the Texelbahn cable car. From here, the route follows trail 1 towards the Winkler refreshment stop and continues to Salten. After crossing the paved waterfall road, the path continues along trail 1 to the Birkenwald inn at around 950 m.

After crossing the road once again, trail 23 begins, climbing uphill through a shaded deciduous forest. At the end of the ascent, hikers reach the impressive Partschins Waterfall, with a drop of 97 metres, one of South Tyrol’s most striking natural landmarks. Near the Waterfall Inn, a footbridge leads to a panoramic viewing platform.

The return follows the same route back to the Texelbahn valley station. Alternatively, bus 265 can be used for the return journey, saving approximately 40 minutes.
