Walking this Alpine ridgeway is a challenging task and therefore only advisable for hikers who are experienced, sure-footed and, above all, fit. From the scenery point of view, this trail does not have such open views as trail no. 4, for example. However, it does pass through some areas that are particularly remote such as the Sexten Dolomites, which is one of the scenic highlights of the hike.

Stages: 10-12 days

Who has never dreamt of climbing the top of the Cima Grande? Despite its popularity and the low grade of difficulty, the Three Peaks are never really crowded – probably because of the fact that orientating as well as finding the route can be rather challenging.

The Three Peaks are the symbol of the Alta Pusteria: They belong to the most famous mountains of the Dolomites and the best known climbing destinations in the world.

Legends and stories about the Sextner Tal valley and the Alta Pusteria/Hochpustertal valley have been told and passed on here for years. Now these many fairytales and stories have been used to create a Fable Trail (Fabelweg) in Sesto. Figures depicting characters from all kinds of legends have been set up along the route, giving visitors an insight into a different world.

If you are looking for solitude and want to enjoy nature and its sea of flowers to the full, the western circuit of the Gsell mountain is highly recommended. It can be walked either directly from the centre of Sexten or from the Innerfeldtal valley.

How is tasty mountain cheese made?
The ‘Drei Zinnen’ display dairy at Dobbiaco/Toblach and the ‘Milk Mile’ at Sesto/Sexten provide answers to questions like this. The local Alpine dairy farming world is explained along an interactive woodland trail. Interested visitors can try their hand at milking using a wooden cow and read how the various cheese types are made.

The Drei Zinnen Alpine Run is the sporting event in the Sesto Dolomites and one of the mountain run classics. An adventurous weekend is guaranteed: Fun and entertainment for the whole family with international athletes.

Every year in september the race takes 1000 athletes through the stunning scenery of the Sesto Dolomites to the finish at the Rifugio Antonio Locatelli S. Innerkofler just below the world famous Three Peaks. This is what makes it one of the most beautiful mountain runs in the world. With a distance of 17.5 km and an altitude differential of 1,350 m it demands a high level of fitness.

Hiking on Sesto's sunny side
The Carnic Ridge and the Dolomites - two mountain ranges with contrasts that attract in Sesto. Walking along the Helm/ Monte Elmo means experiencing the day with the most beautiful panoramic views. Short and also extensive hikes are offered by the Helm, which is a destination for the whole family thanks to the Helmjet cable car.

Starting from "Schmieden", a small suburb of Sexten, this slope leads through the forest along the Sextnerbach river to the "Waldheim" zone.  This slightly ascending slope is part of trail no. 16.

The "Circuito Schönfelder" has several entry points and is located in Moos. Ideally accessible by public transport (Rotwand bus stop) or, if applicable, parking facilities directly on site.            

The Sesto ski touring trail teaches you everything you need to know for safe ski touring during a tour lasting just under two hours. The ski touring trail combines basic theoretical knowledge, for example about the correct behaviour in the event of an avalanche, with an almost six-kilometre tour on which around 540 metres in altitude have to be conquered. The ski touring trail, which is equipped with information boards, starts behind the Zin Fux restaurant and leads between trees and across meadows to the Rotwand. From there to the mountain station, the uphill kick turn is practised in open terrain before returning to the valley via the ski slope.

Ideal for a walk, as a start for the Sesto circuit or if you just want to feel the silence and energy of the forest.

Shortly before the Sesto heating plant (1300 m), the ascent to the Außergsell (1955 m) takes place via trail no. 12. Always along the forest road, the route is moderately steep through the forest to the Außergsell.
The descent is on the same path.

A unique, snow-covered and deserted tour with no refreshment stops.
The views make up for the sometimes arduous ascent.

Always take the current avalanche situation into account.

The 5 km long Rotwand sledging trail in the Sexten Dolomites can be easily reached via the 6-person Rotwandwiesen cable car. The start is right beside the mountain station of the lift. From there, you go through woods and fields back down to the valley station.

Difficulty Level: DIFFICULT

This via ferrata is only suitable for experienced via ferrata climbers who are sure-footed, have a good head for heights and a lot of stamina.

From the Drei Zinnen hut the trail takes towards the “Frankfurter" rock and then enters into the tunnel. At the end of the tunnel the fixed-cable trail takes to the Gamsscharte passage. From there, it goes steeply up to the summit. In the scree around the summit, you have to concentrate on your climbing – there are various places where you could get confused and go wrong. From the summit, returns to the Gamsscharte passage and from there it goes down a few metres in a rocky gully and further on at the wartime trail to the Forgella Paterno/Paternsattel.

The impressive tunnel passages, numerous openings in the rock and an interesting section where you have to crawl, just before the Paternsattel, make this via ferrata extremely exciting and highly recommended, both for its central location in the Sexten Dolomites and for its summit panoramas.

Along the way, 14 stations with various texts from the Bible and matching relief carvings invite you to pause for a moment. Both the Lordesstöckl on the way to the forest chapel and the clear fountain at the 9th station of the contemplation trail are always popular with visitors and locals alike.
The history of the forest chapel is interesting: the church, which is almost entirely made of wood, was built around 1917, as the parish church in Sesto was badly damaged during the First World War. For 14 days, the farmers and the priest at the time worked on the church from early in the morning until nightfall. The wood for this came from a hay barn that had been crushed by the snow. In 1917 and 1918, every church service was celebrated there and, especially during the fascist era, the forest chapel served as a hiding place to hold masses in German. Today, the chapel is also known as the Peace Chapel and was restored in 1974. In 1988, at the suggestion of the then parish priest Markus Küer and in collaboration with the Sesto woodcarver Georg Lanzinger, a path of reflection was laid out to the chapel. Near the chapel there are cup stones, which are among the oldest traces of settlement in Sesto and are also the last of the biblical stations along the path of reflection.
