The Punta Beltovo di Dentro/Hintere Schöntaufspitze is one of the easiest three thousand metre peaks in South Tyrol. From its peak you can enjoy a beautiful view of the mountains of the Martell Valley. On the way to the peak you can stop at the rif. Madriccio to get some refreshments.
In order to climb the summit of king Ortles at 3905m, you should stay the day before at the Julius-Payer hut (3.029m). After spending the night at the hut, you will climb up to the "Wandl", which is probably the technically most difficult part of the entire ascent. Now we cross the somewhat steep traverse at the upper end of the "Eisrinne", which has meanwhile become outdated in the upper section and which leads us over the "Bärenloch" up to "Tschierfegg" where the biv. Lombardi is located. This section has become more difficult in recent years due to the severe glacier retreat and you have to overcome a challenging ramp. The "Tschierfegg" is immediately followed by crevasse-rich terrain and a rather steep slope. Above we reach the gentle Ortler plateau where the ascent to the summit is moderate.
Soon after the chapel of the Weißkugelhütte mountain hut at 2,542 m, the “Richter Steig” path leads in eastern direction to the panoramic southern slope comfortably into the valley up to the mountain and ice barrier of the Vernagl slopes. Here, the slightly exposed climb (Attention in case of ice!) leads northward via partially secured passages over rock up to the Gepatschferner glacier, past the imposing glacier sceneries of the ice rifts. This is were you will need your crampons and rope. After a steeper ramp - potentially tricky when the surface is covered with bare ice - you reach the upper flat ground of the mighty Gepatschferner: Towards your left (northward), there is a slight ascent not far from the left rocky crest in the direction of Weißseespitze; whereas straight on (eastward) leads to the Brandenburg House. We therefore climb up the moderately rugged, slightly ascending terrain to the Weißseespitze: After the 2 km long “Gletscherhaatscher”, we suddenly find ourselves on the flat cap of the Weißseespitze.
The 12 km long knight tour passes by as many as seven castles, ruins and residences. The cultural exploration trail is also suitable for inexperienced hikers and is also suitable for those with buggy if you miss out the "Bierkeller" and Plima bridge sections.

A beautiful mountain hike, which requires you to be sure footed and with a head for heights. The hike starts at the Maseben mountain hut from where you follow the path signposted no. 18. From Maseben turn left and arrive at two small lakes. Walk past the lakes to the right of the river towards the Valbenair valley. At the end of the ski-lift there is a wide-open area. Cross the plain and walk slightly uphill to the left of the Tiergartenspitze peak. Once over the hill, the path turns slightly to the left and you encounter increasingly rocky terrain. After a while, approach the summit ridge and the terrain becomes noticeably steeper. In the middle of the northern flank, the path goes up to Mitterloch Spitze peak. The descent follows the same route as the one going up.

The hike begins at the Schöneben valley station. From there, take the cable car to the mountain station. Following Trail no. 9b across idyllic alpine meadows, you reach the first of the three peaks - the Zehnerkopf at 2,675 m. Route no. 9b leads somewhat steeper up to the Elfer peak (2,926 m). Alternatively, you can hike straight from path 10 to path 8 + 8b to Zwölfer peak (2,783 m). The summit tour promises a beautiful view of the Lake Resia, the upper Vinschgau valley and the peaks of the Langtauferer valley. The descent leads back via Trail no. 8 and the same time via the last summit, the Zwölfer peak (2,738 m), to the mountain station. After a break in the mountain restaurant, the cable car takes you back down to the valley.

The Seebodenspitze peak rises above Haidersee Lake in the upper Venosta valley. The mountain is particularly popular as it is not necessary to start the hike in the valley but from the Haideralm/Malga S. Valentino at 2,100m, which can be reached by cable car from St. Valentin. Walk from the Haideralm through the pine forest and across grazing grounds on the gently rising, then steepening climb signposted no. 10 up to the “Schwarzer Kofel”. Cross large rocks on the ridge and from there walk to the summit. From the summit enjoy the far-reaching mountain landscape of the upper Inntal valley and upper Vinschgau valley. Descend via a small detour (“Three Lakes”) back to the Haideralm.
Magnificent panoramic mountain hike overlooking the Resia Pass holiday area. From Haideralm/Malga S. Valentino, north-eastwards on the path signposted no. 9, follow the mountain path towards Schöneben/Belpiano until the beautiful viewpoint at the “Rote Eck” at 2,299m. Walk further north to the signpost showing the junction westward to the Elfer mountain via the path signposted no. 9. Initially over slopes covered in flowers, becoming steeper as you approach the Hoaderschartl ridge at 2,743m. Sure-footedness is needed for the northward walk across the rocky and partially exposed ridge ending at the flat summit, which presents a magnificent panoramic view. The descent follows the same route as the one going up.
Alternative: Start the hike from the valley following the path signposted no. 9 from St. Valentin to the Haideralm, for approximately two hours.
