Hiking

Aschbach - Naturnser Alm - Rauhjoch - Hochwart

Naturns/Naturno, Meran/Merano and environs
The summit of the Naturnser Hochwart guarantees a magnificent view of the surrounding mountain giants.
from center
The Naturnser Hochwart belongs to a large number of peaks that bear the name Hochwart.
They are all magnificent panoramic mountains that do not always impress with their height, but with their dominance or the height of their embrasures.
The view of the Ötztal Alps in the north, the entire Vinschgau Valley, the Ulten Valley and the Dolomites in the southeast is overwhelming.
The summit hike to the "Naturnser Hochwart" can be combined with a beautiful alpine pasture hike.
