The Spronser Rötel, or Rötelspitze is a bit overshadowed by its neighbors, the Tschigat and the Mutspitze. However, it is a beautiful peak in the course of an exciting circular trail in the Texelgruppe. The Texel Group Nature Park is known for its thick pine woods, sun-lit meadows, high moorland, lonely Alpine pastures and little farms, steep rock faces, tumbling streams, crystal-clear lakes and imposing mountain peaks.

The Casati hut is situated in the Ortles Cevedale group with the expandest glacier in Europe. The panorama is beautiful with a view of Val Martello, Solda and Val Cedec.
An attraction are the 3 World War I cannons, 20 min. from the hut.
The hut has 180 beds with rooms with 2, 4 and 6 beds.

Attention: The Casati hut is currently closed!

Sarner Scharte, Sarentino/Sarnthein’s local mountain, is a ridge which extends from the frazione of Ponticino/Bundschen to the frazione of San Martino/Reinswald.

The Plattkofel is the only summit of the Langkofel group which can be tackled with success by inexperienced climbers. The ascent does, however, require a good level of physical fitness and, above all, surefootedness when you get to the summit ridge. The scene which awaits at the ridge is more than ample compensation for the ascent, as your view sweeps down to the Plattkofel cirque, over the Seiser Alm and on to the Vinschgau/Ötztal and Ortler Alps.

Varied tour with views of the Schlinigtal valley with picturesque mountain scenery.

Summit tour with unimagined views of the Vinschgau mountain world and beyond.

The Tschigat is a striking peak in the Texel Group. The pyramid formed from gneiss offers a magnificent view of many mountain peaks. The tour to the Tschigat is not just a hike, but a real mountain tour with easy climbing passages (grade 2) in exposed terrain.

On the marmot trail to Grünbachsee Lake and viewing the summit

Putzenhöhe (2441m) From easy to advanced Located on one of the many sun-spoilt hillsides of the Pustertal valley, the Moarhof mountain inn is an easy hour's walk from the Gelenke parking (1600 m). Fortified by a hearty meal at the restaurant, carry on to Lake Grünbach and to the Putzenhöhe peak if the weather is good and you feel in shape. The hike through these stunning winter landscapes is truly rewarding. From the peak, the views down into the Mühlwald valley and out into the glaciers of the central Alps will certainly take your breath away.

The lucrative peak tour on the Angelo Grande/Hohe Angelus (3,530 m) starts from the Serristori Alpine hut. The high mountain tour with via ferrata (B/C) is moderately difficult and practically free of ice, and provides mountain climbers with a wonderful panoramic view. 

Starting point of this tour is the Restaurant Alpenfriede in Gschwell in the Langtaufers valley.  From there turn left across meadows onto a forest path. Follow this until you reach a mountain barn, then turn left and follow the old military track until you reach the edge of the forest. Caution is advised there.

The Dossobello di Dentro/Hintere Schöneck is a beautiful mountain tour of about 12.5 km length. Arriving at the summit of the Dossobello di Dentro, especially the view of the Königsspitze, Zebru and Ortler is unique. For this relatively easy mountain tour, however, surefootedness and a good head for heights are necessary.

The Solda Glacier Trail runs along the foot of the Gran Zebrù/Königsspitze, Zebrù and Ortler. It is not a fixed path, but a route with orange and yellow wooden posts, which has to be renewed every year because the glacier is constantly moving. The unique moraine field occasionally releases war relics of the 1st World War.

From the top of the mountain we can marvel at the Zillertal Alps rising in the clear-blue skies: the peaks of Weißzint, Großer Möseler and Turnerkamp compete with each other for attention. In autumn the larch-wood forests shine in flaming colours over the valley. The Flemmsee, as it is marked in the maps, dried out long time ago and can hardly be distinguished from the rest of the highland moor.

This tour is not over-crowded even in high season.

Piz Boé, in the Sella Group, stands at 3,152 meters and is one of the most accessible peaks over 3,000 meters, making it a popular destination for hikers. However, it's important to note that the ascent from Corvara and the return to Passo Gardena, as outlined in this route, are quite demanding. While climbing equipment isn't required, sure-footedness and mountain experience are essential for tackling this hike. The route primarily traverses rocky terrain, with sections of scree and an equipped trail. As you ascend, the landscape changes, offering breathtaking views of some of the most iconic Dolomite peaks, including the Marmolada, Civetta, Catinaccio, and Sassolungo. At the summit, you'll find the small Capanna Piz Fassa hut, where you can spend the night. However, the true reward is the stunning panorama that only an altitude of over 3,000 meters can provide. The descent involves crossing part of the massif before reaching Gardena Pass.

The highest point of this mountain tour is the Taufenscharte also called "Karjoch" at 2230 m. The steep ascent is a challenge, but you will be rewarded with an excellent view over the Spronsertal at the top.

The Arthur Hartdegen Höhenweg was built in 1910 and it is one of the most beautiful mountain trails in South Tyrol.
