Hiking

Tour on the Puflatsch/Seiser Alm

Seiseralm/Alpe di Siusi, Kastelruth/Castelrotto, Dolomites Region Seiser Alm
from center
With the extraordinary profile of the Schlern mountain, the Seiser Alm is one of the most fascinating landscapes in the Dolomites and one of the most famous hiking and winter sports areas in Europe. Numerous legends and sagas about witches and other creatures that are said to have afflicted this area give the largest high alpine pasture in Europe a magical touch.
Itinerary
From Seis am Schlern we reach the starting point Compatsch on the Seiser Alm with the cable car. Close to the mountain station we follow a small gravel path down to the Telemix Puflatsch (gradient approx. 15%). In the middle of wide mountain meadows we enjoy the peace and quiet of the largest alpine pasture in Europe. The Seiser Alm is a true paradise for mountain lovers both in winter and in summer. The barrierfree Telemix Puflatsch takes us up to 2119 m. Close to the top station is the Engelsrast, a wonderful viewpoint with some wooden benches that allow a 360° panoramic view of the Schlern, the Langkofel and the Plattkofel mountains. Over the gentle hills of Puflatsch we follow a wide footpath with gravel surface up to an extensive plateau (gradient approx. 10%). After a rather short flat stretch, the descent to the Arnika hut (2062 m) finally begins. In this section, the path winds over some smaller crests and then shows a marked gradient in some places. From the Arnika hut a small steep footpath leads over a bumpy ascent (wooden gate) to a wooden cross (2077 m). From this hill with benches and tables we enjoy a wonderful view of Kastelruth, as well as Lajen and its surroundings. The return takes place on the same way.
