This varied circular hike combines the most beautiful natural and scenic highlights around the village of Karersee | Carezza and the imposing Latemar massif. The route begins behind the historic Grand Hotel, offering magnificent views of the rugged Latemar range. A suspension bridge crosses a small gorge and leads to the turquoise Lake Carezza (Karer See | Lago di Carezza). This emerald-green natural monument is not only known for its vivid colors, but also for the legend of the water nymph, which gives the lake a mysterious aura. The trail continues along pleasant paths to the Latemar rock labyrinth - a fascinating area of bizarre rock formations, hidden passages, and ancient steps carved into stone (in some sections the use of hands is required). Once on the Latemar meadows, a breathtaking panorama of the Rosengarten | Catinaccio opens up. Here, the Latmor Alm hut and the so-called “mountain sinema” invite hikers to pause and marvel. The return route takes you gently back over the Karerpass | Passo di Costalunga to the starting point - a hike full of variety and unforgettable views.
The tour starts at the Paolina parking area. Follow trail [6] towards Lake Carezza. Cross the suspension bridge and the underpass to reach the lake. Along the right-hand shore of the lake, you reach trail [11], which ascends to the Mitterleger | Radura di Mezzo (1839 m). From there, take the Labyrinth path [20] through the impressive rock labyrinth of the Latemar. At the junction with trail [18], turn towards the Latemar Saddle. Then follow trail [18A], which first continues uphill and then runs flat across a meadow. You reach the Latemar meadows and the mountain cinema (1861 m), offering panoramic views of the Rosengarten | Catinaccio and the Rotwand | Roda di Vael. Immediately afterwards, the Latmor Alm hut invites you to take a break. The descent follows trail [17] to the Karerpass | Passo di Costalunga. From there, trail [6] leads back to the starting point at the Paolina parking area.
