Hiking

Hike from Rasen to the Earth Pyramids of Platten

Percha/Perca, Dolomites Region Kronplatz/Plan de Corones
Varied hike from Rasen to the impressive Earth Pyramids of Platten.
from center

The hike to the Earth Pyramids of Platten is a varied tour. These impressive natural formations are among South Tyrol’s most famous geological attractions and offer a unique nature experience.

The trail leads from loc. Redensberg through peaceful forest sections to the viewing platform of the earth pyramids. Especially in the final section, beautiful views open up over the bizarre clay formations with their characteristic protective stones.

The tour is suitable for experienced hikers and can also be started from Niederrasen or Oberrasen.

Itinerary

The starting point is loc. Redensberg (above Niederrasen). Alternatively, the hike can already begin in Niederrasen or Oberrasen.

From Redensberg, first follow trail marker no. 4 and then hiking trail no. 1A.

From Aschbach, continue along trail no. 17A. Afterwards, the route joins trail no. 1A again, which finally leads to the viewing platforms of the Earth Pyramids of Platten (municipality of Percha).

The last section of the trail is slightly steeper up to the viewpoint.

The return follows the same route back to Rasen.

Distance 3.7 Km
Duration 1h:19 min

Details
Sturdy hiking shoes, weather-appropriate clothing, as well as sufficient water and snacks are recommended. Sure-footedness is helpful for the final, slightly steeper section.
Those who prefer a more comfortable way to reach the Earth Pyramids can alternatively drive to the paid parking area in Oberwielenbach. From there, the well-known Pyramids Trail leads to the viewing platform in about 40 minutes. This option is especially suitable for families.
Take bus line 431 from the Olang-Antholz train station or from Lake Antholz to Niederrasen or Oberrasen. The starting points can be reached on foot from there.
