This first stage of the Multiday Hike - Alpine Pearls is a very varied start to your adventure. The hike begins near Bozen|Bolzano, in the small village of Kardaun|Cardano, at an altitude of 280 metres. On the way to the next little village of Karneid|Cornedo, you will come across numerous vineyards and from a distance you can also catch a view of the imposing castle complex of the Castle of Karneid. Through deciduous forest and later mixed forest, you reach Steinegg|Collepietra at an altitude of 820 metres via the "Rittersteig" trail. Here you will find several places to stop for refreshments and you can also enjoy the unique >Museum of Steinegg. Across the hill "Pstosser Bühl", you can already enjoy the first wonderful views of the Schlern and the Rosengarten. You walk right past the earth pyramids of Steinegg|Collepietra and then descend into the Valley of Tiers|Tires to the small village of Breien|Briè. Along the torrent Briè you reach Tiers|Tires, our first stage destination on our 5-day hike.

This circular trail connects the four picturesque villages of Deutschnofen | Nova Ponente, Welschnofen | Nova Levante, Steinegg | Collepietra, and Tiers | Tires, running below the impressive Dolomite massifs of the Rosengarten | Catinaccio and Latemar. For those looking for a multi-day hike without venturing into high-alpine terrain, this route is the perfect choice. The entire trail covers around 80 kilometers and can be completed in 4–5 daily stages. Each stage offers its own scenic highlights. The trail can be hiked in either direction and provides numerous variations as well as entry points for additional summit experiences. A particularly practical feature: at several points along the circular route, public transport connections are available, allowing you to plan the tour flexibly.

When you take this extra segment, you will begin from Gfrill, which is located at approx. 1,300 meters above sea-level, and continue to Buchholz at 560 meters above sea-level. At first, you'll have a pleasant, relaxing stroll downhill until you come to Unterstein. You can then continue along the old aerial lift trail until you reach the vestiges of an old cableway. The trail then goes downhill until you come to the brook where the Truden Faultline is especially noticeable. This boundary is distinctly visible not only on the basis of the different geological strata (dolomites and porphyry), but also due to the abrupt change in vegetation. You can then continue to the small village of Buchholz.

The fourth stage of the Perlen Loop Trail offers a rich variety of landscapes and unforgettable alpine moments. Starting in Obereggen, the trail winds through lush meadows, past traditional mountain huts, and into peaceful high-mountain terrain. The climb to the Reiter Joch is rewarded with sweeping views of the surrounding Dolomite peaks – a true highlight for nature lovers.

From there, the route gently descends through forest paths and sun-drenched clearings, leading to the welcoming village of Deutschnofen, where accommodation and rest stops await. This stage is ideal for experienced hikers seeking authenticity, panoramic views, and a deep connection with the mountains – a true gem of the trail.

This trail has been certified by 'Europäisches Wandergütesiegel' (European Certification for hiking trails).

Once you have left the village centre, you will understand why La Val is called the village of Alpine meadows: green, well-kept meadows will constantly surround you during this hike. The man-made landscape between 1300 and 2000 metres above sea level developed through the hard work of our farming ancestors, which today is facilitated by the use of agricultural machinery. 

As the altitude increases, so does the consistency of the meadows: from meagre meadows to the larch meadows of Armentara. Along the route you will find wonderful viewpoints, a sulphurous water spring at Al Bagn and several refreshment points where you can refresh yourself with some of the delicious Ladin specialities that can satisfy every palate: try the typical bales (dumplings) or snack on a well-earned slice of strudel.

Every year, the non-competitive half-marathon 'Tru di pra' takes place on this route.

The Val Venosta Alpine Ridgeway (Vinschger Höhenweg) in the Lower Vinschgau valley, from Stava/Staben to the source of the Etsch river at the Reschen Pass where three countries meet, is a true experience for passionate hikers. The stretch totals 108 km and follows existing and new footpaths, paths alongside "Waale" (historic irrigation canals) and connecting roads between farms.

The Alpine Ridgeway unites various stages that can be hiked as part of a multi-day tour or as a one-day excursion. The individual stages are easily accessible via access points in the villages in the valley. In order to help hikers keep their bearings, the entire Alpine Ridgeway is marked with a uniform red logo.

It is a truly remarkable experience to hike through the species-rich vegetation and impressive world of nature that could not be more filled with contrast. The trails on the Sonnenberg mountain feature diverse vegetation such as steppe grass and herbs. They also offer exciting views of the highest mountains in South Tyrol and the fertile valley below.

The best time for the hike is from April to October, although one should be aware that it can be very hot in summer.

Tip: special rates for the Val Venosta Alpine Ridgeway are available (B&B including luggage transport, hiking map of the ridgeway, return transport to the starting point).

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.

This stage takes you through one of the most iconic landscapes of the Dolomites. Right at the beginning, you'll encounter Lake Carezza, a deep blue mountain lake that, with the rugged peaks of the Latemar in the background, appears as a gem in the landscape. From there, you'll traverse dense coniferous forests and alpine meadows that provide an impressive panorama, which will accompany you all the way to Obereggen.

From the small village of Buchholz, you will then continue on to Gfrill. Right after Buchholz, the Truden Faultline becomes especially noticeable. This boundary is visible not only on the basis of the different geological strata (dolomites and porphyry), but also due to the change in vegetation. The trail is steadily uphill until you come to the ruins of the walls of an old cableway. You continue along the old cableway trail, steadily uphill, until arriving in Gfrill, an alpine village surrounded by plenty of natural beauty.

The fifth and final stage of the Perlen Loop Trail takes you from Deutschnofen down into the valley to Kardaun, offering a varied route full of natural beauty and cultural charm. Along the way, you pass picturesque villages such as St. Veit and Karneid, enjoying stunning views of the surrounding mountains and valleys. This stage is perfect for those who want to experience authentic South Tyrolean life, combining diverse landscapes with rich history. After your hike, cozy inns await you along with convenient bus connections.

The Lower Engadin villages of Guarda, Ardez & Lavin and the Upper Vinschgau village of Matsch have a lot in common - the Rhaeto-Romanic language, the pristine mountain world and now the first cross-border multi-day tour from mountaineering village to mountaineering village.

The path from the Oberetteshütte via the "Tabernackel" up to the highest point "little Tibet" to the "Saldur" lakes may be strenuous but is worth every effort. The view is magnificent and the silence and untouched nature is good for you. Follow trail no. 4 over the highest lake plateau in the Alps past several small and large Saldur lakes. After the last lake, the trail descends steeply to the end of the valley to the lush meadows of the old "Matscher Alm". Here you can hike along the "Hearasteig" trail through the larch forest or take the easier forest path.

Hiking bus no. 281 runs regularly from the "Glieshof" to the mountaineering village of Matsch and from there you can take the city bus down to Mals and the end of the tour.
