Map & elevation profile

Beautiful 12km running route in the valley basin of Längenfeld and route of the annual Thermal Run at the AQUA DOME.

The route starts at the Sportzentrum Längenfeld, near the AQUA DOME. After crossing the Fischbach, follow the signage along the valley floor over beautiful meadow paths southward to the hamlet of Huben. There the loop turns and partly follows the Ötztaler Ache back towards the Aqua Dome, which is passed on its western side further north until you reach the hamlet of Oberried where the district heating plant is located. From there it goes back to the starting point. For the Thermal Run, this route of about 12km can be run once or twice as a half marathon. More info: www.thermenlauf.at 

Author's tip
After an intense running session, the warm water in the outdoor pools of the AQUA DOME provides wonderful muscle relaxation.
