Schnanner Klamm lies above Schnann and can be reached from the village centre in a five-minute walk. In the gorge, rushing water, striking rock walls and waterfalls define the character of the short hike along an iron walkway. There are also other distinct themes: a trail from the parish church to St. Michael’s Chapel, the climbing garden at the entrance to the gorge, and the church and bell foundry. This makes it easy to plan a visit to Schnann around nature, the route or culture.

The gorge: a short hike and waterfalls

It is a five-minute walk from the village centre to the gorge; a short hike through the ravine follows an iron walkway, passing striking rock walls and rushing waterfalls. The approach and the hike are therefore two distinct parts of getting your bearings. Weather conditions can affect trail conditions; check them before setting out.

Trail route and climbing garden

The Schnann themed trail starts at the parish church in the village centre and heads east along the Way of the Cross to St. Michael’s Chapel. Here, the route itself serves as a guide: its starting point, direction, course along the Way of the Cross and destination are all specified. This sets the themed trail apart from the gorge hike, where the walkway, rock walls and waterfalls shape the character of the route.

The Schnann climbing garden is located at the entrance to Schnanner Klamm. The approach to the upper sector is equipped with a wire rope. This identifies a separate activity and provides a specific detail about access to the upper sector, while the short hike through the gorge offers a different option.

Parish church and bell foundry

Schnann Parish Church is dedicated to Saint Roch; its pulpit dates from the second half of the 18th century. The themed trail also starts at the parish church in the village centre. The church is therefore both a cultural attraction in its own right and the starting point for a route to St. Michael’s Chapel.

The bell foundry is another of Schnann’s cultural attractions: visitors can see this example of traditional Tyrolean craftsmanship. Visits are possible by prior appointment only; bear this requirement in mind when planning.

Toboggan run and travel planning

Another local activity is the toboggan run in Schnann, which descends the mountain for more than 200 metres. Its length and downhill course make it different from the short hike through the water-shaped gorge. These specific features make it possible to consider the two options separately, without combining them into a single route.

If you are looking for a hotel in Schnann, you can start by deciding what you would most like to focus on during your stay: nature and the gorge, a route to St. Michael’s Chapel, or cultural attractions such as the church and bell foundry. Prior appointment remains an important planning requirement for a visit to the bell foundry.
