Hans Knauss Trail

Tour description

The loop starts at the Untertal-Dorf hiking portal or the Landalm pedestrian bridge and leads over 10 km with a total elevation gain of 260 meters to the Tetter Inn and back again.

He also won the silver medal in the super-G at the 1998 Winter Olympics, the silver medal in the giant slalom at the 2003 World Championships, and the bronze medal in the super-G at the 1999 World Championships.
