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 route starts at the Paolina car park. First, follow path [6] towards Lake Carezza. A suspension bridge built in 2018 takes you across a small gorge to the parking area of Lake Carezza. Cross the lot and pass through an underpass to reach the lake itself. Follow the path along the right-hand shore until you reach the hiking path [11], which climbs steadily uphill to the Mitterleger | Radura di Mezzo viewpoint (1839 m). From here, turn onto the Labyrinth path [20], which winds its way through the striking rock formations of the Latemar labyrinth. At the junction with path [18], turn right in the direction of the Latemar saddle. After a steep ascent, you'll reach path [18A], which gently traverses a scenic alpine meadow. A short final climb brings you to the Latemar meadows and the Eggental mountain cinema (1861 m), offering stunning panoramic views of the Rosengarten | Catinaccio and the Rotwand | Roda di Vael. Right after the mountain cinema, the Latmor Alm hut is a perfect spot to rest and refuel with regional specialties while enjoying the magnificent Dolomite backdrop. To descend, follow path [17] down to the Karerpass | Passo di Costalunga. From there, path [6] on the left leads you back to the starting point at the Paolina car park.
