Wednesday on tour: Weißhorn Circuit – from Jochgrimm to Maria Weißenstein

Discover the fascinating mountain world of South Tyrol on our guided day hikes. Fascinating experiences and unforgettable memories await you.

Weißhorn Circuit – from Jochgrimm|passo Oclini to Maria Weißenstein|Pietralba
A day of hiking with stunning views begins with a 9 am bus journey from Steinegg|Collepietra to Jochgrimm|passo Oclini, where the start of the Weißhorn Circuit awaits us at an altitude of around 2,000 metres. The high-altitude trail takes us along the north-eastern side of the Weißhorn, which reveals its quiet, wild side here. With unobstructed views of the Latemar and Rosengarten|Catinaccio Dolomite formations, we follow the path along the north ridge of the Weißhorn. Time and again, views open up onto the Bletterbach Gorge, South Tyrol’s ‘Grand Canyon’ and a geological natural monument. After the descent, we reach the hut Lahner Alm, where Isabella and her team welcome us with warm hospitality and South Tyrolean delicacies. Well fortified, we then continue partly along wide forest tracks until we finally reach the spiritual resting point of this tour – the pilgrimage site of Maria Weißenstein|Pietralba. The bus back to Steinegg|Collepietra is already waiting.

Walking time 4 hours – Ascent 310 m – Descent 790 m – Tour length 11.5 km
