The Brixen High Mountain Trail on the Plose Mountain

This hike starts at the top station of the Plose gondola lift and follows a scenic loop high above Brixen. The trails climbs along the slopes of Schönjöchl to the saddle of the same name and, along the ridge, up to the Plose Hut (2,447 m). From there, a short, almost level stretch leads to the Telegraph viewpoint, where an impressive panorama platform awaits. Views sweep from the Zillertal Alps to the Dolomites, from the Brenta Group in the south to the Ortler massif in the west. A panorama table helps you identify the surrounding peaks at a glance. The route then descends to the lodge Ochsenalm; on the first section sure-footedness is required, after which the trail becomes gentler. From the Ochsenalm, trail no. 30 runs almost level along the upper edge of the stone pine forest back to Kreuztal/Valcroce, crossing hollows, gullies and the striking Trametsch Trench—staying in the heart of the panorama until the very end.
