Hiking

Circular hike around the Rosengarten | Catinaccio massif

Welschnofen/Nova Levante, Dolomites Region Eggental
from center

If you decide to go hiking in Val d'Ega, you can experience the UNESCO World Natural Heritage Dolomites with its striking mountains such as the Catinaccio and the Latemar in many different ways. Whether on leisurely walks along the alpine pastures, where the imposing mountain backdrop is visible on the horizon, or on challenging mountain tours, where you can experience the Dolomites up close and in the midst of it all.

If you want to explore the unique splendour of the region on your own, set out on the enchanting circular tour around the Rosengarten group. Following in the footsteps of the dwarf king Laurin, to whom, according to legend, the Dolomites owe their magical glow at dusk, the impressive high-altitude hike begins at the Kölner Hütte. Over a total distance of 12 kilometres, you will climb around 800 metres in altitude.

On the way, you cross the Tschagerjoch and the Cigoladepass as well as the Hirzelweg. On the way back to the starting point, there are always unobstructed views of the surrounding peaks and valleys, showing the beauty of the landscape in all its splendour.

Attention: there are some snowfields. For accessibility, mountain experience and the appropriate equipment are required (good hiking boots, hiking poles and possibly crampons).
