A varied hike which leads past beautiful lookouts right to the Geisler Mountains.

Hiking across the broad mountain meadows with magnificent panoramas. 

The farmers trail is the former connecting route between Coll and the village centre of St. Peter and was used by the farmers to get to school and to church. The historic farms, the picturesque chapels and wayside shrines and the majestic pale mountains, the Odle, will enchant you.

The hike up to Monte Glurns begins at the parking lot behind the Glurns/ Glorenza parish church and reaches Mount Glurns via the Glurns Alpine pastures, at a height of 2,395 meters. Although the mountain is per se not a particularly challenging, it is well worth the trip, since the trail traverses a scenic natural setting through woodlands, meadows and pastures. Inexperienced climbers should not attempt this tour without a mountain guide.

In this second stage of the Dolomites World Heritage Geotrail II you reach the mountain massif, that is left as a remnant of a former Triassic atoll: the Latemar. This second stage leads to the western flank of the former atoll and gives the impression of walking on the seabed of the underwater slope that once rose upwards to the surface of the water.

The marble walkway leads to the way of the cross, which goes through the orchards to the sanctuary of Maria Lourdes.
