Alte Raggalerstraße
This groomed winter trail follows the route of a former road that once connected Raggal to Ludesch, passing through the "Falazera" district before descending gently to meet the old Raggalerstraße. The route starts at the village church and skirts past the sports field, with a bus stop on the L88 road offering an alternative return rather than retracing your steps.

Alter Weg
The trail climbs from the Seilbahn Schnifis bergstation across open alpine meadows and through shady forest, passing twelve wooden story-boards illustrating local legends — among them the Geigenmännlein, the Goppakatz, and the Vernellaschimmel. At the Alpe Älpele, a working summer alp, the views stretch to the Swiss mountains, the Rätikon, and the Silvretta.
