Sentiero della Posta

Lajen Dorf/Laion paese, Lajen/Laion
Easy, beautiful hiking trail through forest and meadows to Lajen.
from center

Ask any of the locals, and they might let you in on their favourite insider tip: a lovely, historical trail which crosses forests and meadows. Get ready for a beautiful walk and a somewhat mystical experience. The delightful scent of flowers and mesmerising birdsong will accompany you for 5 km as you explore the lush, untouched nature: the dappled sunlight washes over the moss-covered forest, creating a pleasant ambience and tableau to be admired.

Itinerary

The starting point of this hike lies at the edge of the Vico di Fuori hamlet, easily reached via Mureda Street or Nevel Street. From here, the trail marked with the letter “P” leads straight into a mysterious forest, where the silence and enchanting atmosphere accompany you from the very first steps.
The path winds its way up a gentle rise in the terrain and soon opens up to wonderful views high above the valley floor of Pontives. Continuing almost level westward, the trail rewards hikers with charming vistas of meadows, woodlands, and surrounding mountains.
After about two hours of walking, you arrive at the Pedrutscherhof, a traditional mountain farm beautifully set amidst the landscape. From there, it is just another 30 minutes to St. Peter in Laion, a picturesque alpine village full of authentic charm and splendid views.
For the return journey, the most relaxing option is recommended: take the public bus, which will comfortably bring you back to Ortisei.
