Pěší turistika v Jižním Tyrolsku

This hiking tour will guide us to a ruin called "Leiterburg", then to a long stone staircaise and finally to Ora. From the ruins we will have a marvellous view of South Tyrol's south.

On June 7, 1915, Monte Piana was taken by Austrian soldiers and fortified despite Italian resistance. A little later, the Italians managed to take its southern side. Since the border between Italy and the Habsburg Monarchy of Austria-Hungary ran right through Monte Piana, both sides wanted to hold onto this strategically important mountain. A bloody trench warfare lasting two years followed, which was ultimately not to bring about any decisive change.

From the right side of car park, follow the service road uphill. Afterwards, a hiking trail, briefly bearing left, leads through the forest for a short time and then over a meadow and through a forest once more. One finally reaches a high plateau with numerous hay barns. Head right uphill past the barns ascending through a steep piece of woodland that ends in a shelf and leads along an increasingly narrow ridge towards the peak of the Platter Berg mountain. From the peak, follow the same route back to the starting point.

ATTENTION: Always be informed about snow conditions and avalanche risk before setting off.

The trail starts by the mountain station and goes in direction Edelweißhütte mountain hut. Just before the hut tunr left on the steep trail (34) and along the scree upwards to the Lotterscharte joke (2258m). Afterwards on trail 24 to the Ochsenschatre joke and furtheron over the ridge to the Rosskopf summit (2189m). Descend to the Rosskopf mountain station. Return to Ladurns with pubblic bus (313).

This Stone Age Settlement includes a heavy overgrown hilltop, the ruins of a walled fortress, and great views of the Adige Valley.

From Plan, follow the signs for route No. 24, which leads after crossing three streams to the Bergkristall climbing garden. From there continue down to the Innerhütt inn (1.420 m). Here the Merano High Mountain trail reveals its most typical aspects: solitary forests interrupted by clearings, meadows and mountain farms. Along a series of modest ups and downs the path winds to the hamlet of Christl (1,029 m) above S. Leonardo/St. Leonhard, the main town of the Passeiertal Valley. From here, the route leads south until the double peak of the Laugen mountain above Lana becomes visible. On the opposite side, the rocky mountains of the Sarntal Alps rise majestically to the front.

In order to connect the mountain farms to the valley, the trail run in some parts along paved roads, such as over the Lockengeier farms and from Thal to Matatz above S. Martino/St. Martin (1,052 m.)

This easy hike from Vöran/Verano to Hafling/Avelengo is suitable for everyone and even doable with a stroller. There are several places to stop and eat along the way -all of which have terraces with delightful views.

The pharmacy trail on the Monte Sole mountain from the year 2017 is a special gift by the Lasa pharmacist Sigrid Haller on the occasion of the 30th anniversary of the opening.

Empress Elisabeth of Austria (Sissi) spent her summer holiday at the Grand Hotel Carezza in 1897. Her favourite walk was dubbed the ‘Elisabeth Promenade’, and is marked with a monument in her memory.

Pleasant walk from the fortress Mitterberg/Monte di Mezzo - inn Gasthof Panorama - to the hut Helmhanghütte. Wonderful view of the village of Sesto, accessible by buggy.

The Lazaun high plateau is marked by the power of the glacier, for example, by an active block glacier and a high moor. You will find very distinctive Alpine flora here, including the dwarf willow (Salix herbacea), the smallest tree in the world. With any luck, the attentive observer will also be treated to rare sightings of local fauna. Numerous marmots live up here in addition to rock partridge and snow grouse.

Since 2002 the Via Alpina has been winding from Trieste (Italy) to Monaco, from the Adriatic sea to the Mediterranean, its 5000 kilometres of walking tracks marked out into 5 trails through eight European countries: Slovenia, Italy, Austria, Germany, Liechtenstein, Switzerland, France and the Principality of Monaco.

The Via Alpina also crosses the Antholz Valley: 

The stage starts from St. Martin in Gsies, leading to the innermost part of the Karbachtal valley and then over into the Antholz valley. Follow the Karbach and Hundsbach streams to reach the Ochsenfelder meadows. Track 42 leads over the Grüblscharte (2,394m) to the Grüblalm hut in Antholz. From there, take woodland trail 9 or 1 to Anhtholz Mittertal, the stage destination at approx. 1,250 m.

From Antholz Mittertal (1,240m), the trail first of all heads uphill through woodland below the wild precipices of the Magerstein and winds in numerous hairpin bends up the steep debris-strewn slopes until reaching a small, secured section through a glacier trough and soon afterwards the Rieserfernerhütte hut (2,792m).

From Kasern/Casere via the Starkl Alm to Prettau/Predoi…

There are various ridgeways on the sunny valley side of Prettau/Predoi and Kasern/Casere. The most well-known is the Lausitzer path, which leads out of the valley at an altitude of 2,500 m. Less exhausting, and situated about 500 m lower, there is the route leading from Kasern/Casere up to the Starkl Alm, continuing on the forest road and then descending to Prettau/Predoi. The views of the impressive glaciers of the Zillertal Alps and the High Tauern mountains make this route especially rewarding. As we climb up the mountain, the mighty Rauchkofel awaits us, and we let our eyes wander to the symbolical landmark of Dreiherrenspitze (3,499 m) with its peak covered in snow.

A varied itinerary with panoramic views, water and history for the hole family at Aldino.

This panoramic trail leads to the Christomannos monument, a bronze eagle directly in front of the mighty walls of the Catinaccio/Rosengarten massif in remembrance of Theodor Christomannos. His life’s work was the construction of the famed Dolomitenstraße road from Nova Levante/Welschnofen to Cortina.

The Knottnkino in Vöran/Verano is a lookout point. It's outfitted with thirty cinema seats, where the hikers can take a seat and enjoy the unique experience. The site overlooks the whole of the Adige Valley so visitors enjoy stunning views that encompass the Texelgruppe Mountains, Mount Penegal, and even Weißhorn farther afield.

This hike is an easy and family-friendly route which can even be done with a buggy. The Weiher Bruggen pond is one of the attractions: it is a resting place for young and old. Parents can enjoy the view toward the Ifinger mountain whilst children can admire the many fish in the pond.

This easy and tranquil hiking tour leads us to the so called "Rosssprung/ Salto del Cavallo" (Horse jump), passing by farms and an old church, built in 1600.

An easy hike close by the Geisler Mountains amidst the Nature Park Puez-Geisler.

The "2 Täler Trail" starts in Hopfgarten in Defereggen, heads along the Staller Saddle mountain pass and ends in Niederrasen in the Antholzertal Valley. Six daily stages spanning a total of 90 kilometres lie in store for hikers. This trail is the middle ground between a high-alpine long-distance trail and a monotonous valley hiking path. It snakes along the middle altitudinal zone between high-alpine terrain and valley floors. Hikers can enjoy the unique views of the valley’s villages and the snow-capped mountain peaks as they forge their way across the Lasörling Group, Villgraten Mountains and the three-thousanders in the Rieserferner Group. Metaphorically speaking, this entire route is a balcony to the Alps. At the end of each daily stage, hikers reach a village where they have the option of staying in a guest house, an inn or a hotel.

The route takes hikers mainly along wide paths through forests but also makes a stop at the idyllic Bruggen Weiher Pond, which has a very unique fauna.

Circular hike recommended all year round. Please note: Please note the opening times and closing days of the huts.

Enjoy a wonderful view of the surrounding mountains of the South Tyrolean Dolomites between Rosengarten/Catinaccio and Latemar!

Passing between two manned shelters and the picturesque Seeber See lake beneath the glacier, this hike does not require any special precautions.
