The vast, gently undulating plateau of volcanic origin lying between Welschnofen and Tiers is covered with magnificent fir woods and dotted with large pastures, each one providing grazing in the summer. The rural landscape and its functions are easy to make out and perfectly preserved.The itinerary is long enough to get a good understanding of the structure of the landscape, which follows the morphology of the land. Mount Rosengarten, between the Karerpass, Tireser Alpl and Valley Fassatal, is a rugged, craggy crest with a number of peaks reaching an altitude of 3,000 metres: Kesselkogel, Rosengarten, Cima Scalieret, Vajolet-Türme und Rotwand.
This beautiful itinerary runs along the ridge between Eggental and the Tierser Valley. It follows a forest road which is closed to traffic and begins near the Niger mountain hut (1690 m a.s.l.). The whole route is well sign-posted and very varied, with flat terrain interspersed with up and downhill sections, following the undulating shape of the slope. The path is a dirt road and every 20/30 metres there are narrow drainage channels which do not, however, cause any problems. Almost all the route is in the woods but, after the Vaia storm in October 2018 which brought down a huge number of trees, a lot of new and beautiful views of the imposing Rosengarten cliff and Latemar have since opened up. There are a number of detours along the way, with directions to Jocherhof farm always well-signposted at the forks.
