Start with the upper-valley core

Lake Resia, Graun’s bell tower, Reschen, St Valentin and Langtaufers make up the Upper Venosta core; villages farther down the valley are separate stops.

Bell tower at Graun

The former village bell tower is viewed from the lakeside at Graun. A turn from the state road leads to the bell-tower car park; live space availability is not published.

Services at the stop

The destination FAQ lists public toilets at the bell-tower car park. Opening, maintenance and actual accessibility still need checking on site.

One additional stop

Reschen lies north of the bell tower, St Valentin to the south, and Langtaufers extends towards Melago. The internal map keeps the core separate from nearby places and opens each place record.

One theme and one optional stop

Choose history, localities, cycling or walking as the day’s main thread, then map only one extra stop that can be dropped when transfers take longer.

Useful bus routes

Route 273 links Mals, Reschen, Nauders and Landeck; 275 links Mals, Reschen and Schöneben; 276 links Langtaufers, Graun and Reschen. Check the timetable for the exact day.

Parking without invented estimates

The guide shows documented areas only: it publishes no free-space or capacity figure when the feed fails its checks. Allow time to find an authorised alternative.

Accommodation and Guest Pass

The Lake Resia Guest Pass is supplied by participating accommodation and cannot be bought separately. Before booking, ask whether it is included and from which date it is valid.

Keep the day adjustable

Transport, traffic, weather, events and services can change: reopen the relevant sources near departure and retain enough margin to shorten the plan.

Weather and warnings

Check the provincial forecast and warnings before departure. Wind, thunderstorms and rapid changes can make a plan unsuitable even when it looks simple on paper.

Events with a future date

The internal calendar publishes only records with a valid future date, locality, source and licence. Each event has its own page with the available occurrences.

Real activities, conditions to confirm

Hiking, cycling, water sports and winter activities require different checks. Use the catalogue to identify an activity and its original provider data to confirm operation and requirements.
