Easy alpine tour with a spectacular view of the Dolomites of Sesto.

From the top of the mountain we can marvel at the Zillertal Alps rising in the clear-blue skies: the peaks of Weißzint, Großer Möseler and Turnerkamp compete with each other for attention. In autumn the larch-wood forests shine in flaming colours over the valley. The Flemmsee, as it is marked in the maps, dried out long time ago and can hardly be distinguished from the rest of the highland moor.

This tour is not over-crowded even in high season.
