Pilgerweg "Quo vadis"

The Pilgerweg „Quo vadis” connects the valley communities of the Stubaital on a spiritually interpreted path. From the Church in Mieders, it leads on 22 km through the entire valley – past chapels, Bildstöcken, and stations for reflection. The path is not a purely church path, but an invitation to walk, look, and think.

Why the Pilgerweg?

Pilgrimage routes are in vogue – not because everyone is religious, but because walking with a theme and direction changes something. The Pilgerweg „Quo vadis” adds an additional dimension to the Stubai Valley hiking day: The chapels and waymarks remind us that these valleys have been spiritual landscapes for centuries.

Long route, much variety, no mountain as a goal – here the way is the goal.
