Experience South Tyrol - it's unforgettable!

From the church in Raas, walk along the paved road to Elvas. Here the hiking path starts that leads right down to Kranebitt and past Stufels all the way on the same trail no. 2, from Raas down to Brixen. You have the option of returning by bus.

From the mountain station of the funicular railway at 2,103 m altitude we run first westward to the Resciesa summit cross. There we take a little time to enjoy the breathtaking panorama and to cast a look into the neighbouring Val di Funes. After that we take paths no. 10, 31 and 35 toward the Brogles Saddle, whereas we stay approximately at the same elevation, making this run a real pleasure. Arriving at the Brogles Saddle we can either run back the same way to the funicular, or we turn right onto path n. 5, which leads into the path no. 9 through Val d’Anna and finally brings us back to Ortisei. Just before we reach the village we come to a Kneipp facility in Val d’Anna, where we can cool our legs.

Worthwhile hike to Caprile/Gfrill and around the "Tisner Gall"

Moderately difficult but very rewarding hike along the "Mühlenweg" to Caprile/Gfrill.

Dolomites World Heritage Geotrail II - from Bletterbach to the Sexten Dolomites

A hiking trail to discover the fossil archipelago of the  Dolomites UNESCO World Hetitage

In 2009 UNESCO listed the Dolomites as a World Heritage Site for the aesthetic value of its landscape and for the scientific importance of its geology and geomorphology. From this arose the idea of designing a trekking route through the Dolomites that would present this spectacular history and beauty to hiker.

The Dolomites World Heritage Geotrail explores the entire Dolomites World Heritage Site in 47 stages. 10 of these stages run through the South Tyrolean Dolomites, traversing some of the most beautiful and geologically interesting mountain ranges in the region. There are breathtaking views to be had along a route that features plenty of opposites, while hiking is a unique experience along the well-marked, well-maintained paths.

The Geotrail is thus a combination of long-distance footpath and educational trail. The individual stages of this trail are also possible as day tours; you can almost always use public transport to get back to your starting point or to return from the day’s destination. The main challenge is nevertheless to attempt the Geotrail in ten days, taking the time to explore a unique world full of secrets and for a while escaping the hustle and bustle of our (over-)organised everyday world.

Lenght: 176 km

Duration: 10 days

This hike takes you past Totenkirchl Chapel and picturesque Totensee Lake to the peaks of Villandro (Villanderer) Mountain.

In 1494, the famous German artist Albrecht Dürer travelled for the first time to Italy. His final destination was Venice. Because of the flooded Adige valley, he had to bypass from the cloister St. Florian in Egna/Neumarkt to Buchholz/Pochi. He came across the gill of the river Lakus and passed the Roman's bridge ("Römerbrücke"). After Buchholz/Pochi, he arrived at the Sauch pass. This road brought him to the Lago Santo Lake, where he descended to Cembra, Faver and the Segonzano Castle. During his stay in this castle, he created a few of his most important watercolors.

A Part of the path is accessible today.

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.

This pleasant segment leads from idyllic village of Oberradein all the way to Truden – from 1,500 meters to 1,100 meters above sea-level. At the start, you proceed downhill by way of Unterradein until you come to the famed "Ice Holes" of Kaltenbrunn; because of the cool air that streams out of the openings in the ground, it's pleasant here even in the summer. Kaltenbrunn offers refreshment options and connection to public transportation. From here, the route goes slightly uphill and then levels off as you continue to Truden.

Easy trail from Monte Baranci across the meadows and along the railway on to the Nordic Arena in Dobbiaco.

You can proceed along this very easy segment from Altrei uphill via the Ziss Saddle – not far from there, you can admire the stunning "huckete Stoan," a free-standing erratic boulder made of porphyry the size of a house – until you come to the Horn-Alm (which is managed). From here, you will proceed slightly downhill until you come to the bogland "Schwarz" and "Weiss" lakes. It's now only a short stretch to Gfrill, the goal of this segment.

The Castelfeder hill is an ancient cultural landscape with settlement remains dating back to the Stone Age and Bronze Age. The remains of the castle complex, the legendary “slide of fertility” and the Santa Barbara chapel walls are testament to its mystical past. The area is of particular importance not only from an archaeological and historical perspective but also from an ecological point of view as for years it has enjoyed the status of being a protected natural habitat (biotope).

From Kematen on the trail 4 upwards to the Schlüsseljoch joke (2192m). Here on the left side along difficult high alpine trail 3 over the Kalkwandstange summit in direction Rollspitze summit and along the serpentines on scree floor upwards to the summit (2792m). Lunch possibility: Gasthof Alpenrose, Restaurant Kranebitt.

Short, not particulary difficult climbing path with long rising and falling section in an isolated area. Good orientation skills required. From the car park directly at the lake along the road to the “Riedlhof”, then on the path no. 20 to “Alpe di Pra della Vacca/Kühwiesenhütte” and continue on the path no. 61 and the climbing path until the peak of “Cima dei Colli Alti/Hochalpenkopf”.

The "Vorbichl" Adventure Trail is located in Prissiano. This path is ideal for children and adults. 

Easy hike along the romantic Stream Path valley of Prissiano and on to the picturesque Wehrburg castle.

The 1.1 km long running course from Ortisei to the Annatal coffee/restaurant offers a scenic highlight. This beautiful course, which leads mainly through the forest, is not only suitable for beginners but also for advanced runners.

The Klopairspitze peak rises above the mighty Resia Lake and offers a magnificent vantage point over the area. The ascent is not a "walk in the park", especially the last few metres across steep and rocky terrain. The hike starts in Graun/Curon with the ascent over the Grauner Berg mountain via the path signposted no. 5 on the sunny and plain southern hill and through the avalanche barrier to the Rossböden Alm alpine pasture. From there the route becomes increasingly steep until the last stage before the peak, where the terrain becomes extremely rocky. Caution and surefootedness are advisable on the summit ridge. The reward is a wonderful view over both lakes and peaks in all directions. The descent follows the same route as the one going up.
