The Pfunderer high altitude trail is a spectacular and challenging multi-day hike in South Tyrol, leading hikers through the stunning mountain landscapes of the Pfunderer Alps. Spanning approximately 70 kilometers with 5,600 meters of elevation gain, the trail offers breathtaking views, wild alpine terrain, and exhilarating challenges. The route stretches from Sterzing in the north to St. Georgen near Bruneck in the south, connecting secluded valleys, lush alpine meadows, idyllic mountain lakes, and panoramic peaks.
This tour is ideal for experienced hikers with strong stamina and surefootedness, who enjoy the solitude of the mountains. The route is divided into 6 stages, with daily hiking times between 3 and 7 hours. Conveniently located huts along the way provide rest and refreshments, allowing hikers to recharge.
Due to the high altitude and alpine nature of the Pfunderer high altitude trail, careful planning is essential. Reservations at huts in advance and up-to-date information on trail conditions are important for a safe and enjoyable hiking experience.
The Dolomites High Route 8 leads from Bressanone to Salorno. It goes over a crest, which flanks the Etschtal/Val'Adige valley and the Eisacktal/Valle Isarco valley.
The path begins together with the Dolomites High Route 2 in Bressanone, later the paths separate. The Dolomites High Route 8 offers a relatively easy crossing of the Dolomites. It was built relatively late, in 1981, from the existing network of paths. The most demanding part of the route is the passage from the Passo di Costalunga to the hut Rifugio di Pisa. Since there are many bases, the path can be followed in quite short stages, which makes it also exciting for families with children. The duration of the trail should be between 10 and 13 days.
The beautiful panorama is normally the reward once you've climbed up to the highest point of a tour. But not on this hike to the Astjoch ridge: here there is a viewing platform right where you start at the Zumis car park. But don't let this hold you back from the hike itself, as a wealth of wonderful routes await you, crossing wide open meadows and pastures before finally reaching the Astjoch ridge itself. High above the Lüsner valley, it boasts exceptionally wide views of the Alps, over the Pustertal valley and the Dolomites. To help you get your bearings, the names of the countless mountain ranges and peaks that you can see have been engraved into a stone slab in the ground. A large part of the hike passes through nature conservation areas, where farmed mountain pastures alternate with upland moors and little marshy valley cuttings. The route also promises a number of curiosities to enjoy on the way, such as the little Alpine chapel Pianer Kreuz.

The easy fun trail leads to the top of the Astjoch (also known as Burgstall) and to the eastern flank of the Rodenecker-Lüsner Alm.
Starting point of the hike is the Widmann bridge in Brixen. Shortly along the O. von Guggenberg Street, turn right and on the Plattenweg path (marking 6) uphill to Cornale. Continue along the Via Crucis to San Andrea at the parish church of the same name. On the San Andrea loop trail the hike leads in a southerly direction to Meluno di Sopra and Cleran. From here take trail no. 8 down to Millan. On the Karlspromenade promenade descend to the Karlsburg residence and through the Plose path back to the starting point.
The little church of St. John the Baptist is located in Cornale and stands on a charming rounded hill. The Martyrdom of St. Ursula, which dates back to the Renaissance (c. 1520), is of excellent artistic quality.
The parish church of S. Andrea was first mentioned in 1177. Its late Gothic renovation around 1485 with presbytery and bell tower is still characteristic.
In Cleran the little church of S. Nicolò impresses the visitor with its rich late Gothic ornamental frescoes. The cycle of the Passion of Christ is a pictorial jewel of excellent quality.
The pilgrimage church of "Maria am Sand" with its depiction of the Madonna is the old parish church of Millan and dates back to the 14th century.
Behold – be at one – be amazed
With these words, we welcome all visitors to the Creation Trail on the Rodengo and Luson Alps.
When the religious man turns his eyes to creation, he comes closer to the mysteries of God, of man and of nature, and senses intuitively that by living in communion with God, mankind and nature blossom.
The Creation Trail invites visitors from near and far to wonder at the magic of the surrounding landscape, moulded through mankind over the centuries to bestow upon it the form that we see today.
Among artists and art lovers, the perception of religious motif and the language they speak are perhaps their greatest source of inspiration. The highest form of artistic expression is giving voice to the unvoiced.
When following the trail, each visitor can behold, be at one and be amazed in their own personal way, and hear the message that unites us all.
The Ywein Trail is a family-friendly themed path in Rodeneck that takes young and old on a journey through the story of Knight Ywein.

Check the castle's opening hours to ensure you can view the frescoes during your visit.
