Family hikes in South Tyrol

The walk is pleasant, but slightly ascending, along meadows and forests.

On the Möltner Kaser tipical Soouth Tirolean dishes are waiting for you. It is a mountain pasture farm, situated in a beautiful location below the "Stoanerne Mandln". Especially in summer you can discover a lot, when the cattle, sheep and haflinger horses graze on the pastures.

The Sattlerhütte is a very beautifully situated, rustic pasture below the Möltner Kaser. The hike can be done at any time of the year: in winter as a snowshoe tour, in autumn - when the larches turn yellow-gold, in the summer because of the lush green meadow and especially in spring, when the alpine meadows turn into a flowering sea of crocuses and other spring flowers.

A hike with a fantastic panorama and historical highlights. The tour starts below the sports field in Reschen/Resia. Follow the path signposted no. 2 in the direction of Plamort. Walk along the forest road for about an hour until you reach the plateau. Here you can explore the first bunkers, a complete defence system from the Second World War. If interested, follow the signs at the Oculus information board to the anti-tank barriers on the left hand side of the forest road. Alongside the anti-tank barriers to the east the path branches off to the south. A little further on, directly after the hill, a breath-taking panorama awaits you at the viewing rock. For the descent, not far from the panorama point, a narrower and steeper path no. 1A on the left leads back to Reschen.
Note: If the descent is too steep, follow the forest road instead and continue on the same route as on the ascent.
