The well-maintained trail leads through gently rolling landscapes and repeatedly offers wonderful views of the striking Schlern massif and the impressive Langkofel mountain group. This route is ideal for families and leisure hikers, as it involves no major elevation changes and is easy to walk. Along the way, several mountain huts invite you to stop for a break and enjoy regional specialties. The combination of fresh mountain air, the peaceful natural surroundings and breathtaking panoramas makes this hike a relaxing nature experience focused on enjoyment and well being.
