The route begins at Monte Pana, a small high plateau 2 km above S. Cristina at the foot of the impressive Sassolungo Group. From there follow the forest road (path no. 30), which is closed to motor traffic, in the direction of Alpe di Siusi. The first part of the route leads through the forest, after approx. 3 km you reach the route’s highest point, where a forest glade reveals a wonderful panorama of the entire Alpe di Siusi, the largest mountain pasture area in Europe. After another 3 km, you arrive at Saltria. There at the bus stop turn right and follow the path no. 30A back to Monte Pana.
Shorter Variant: Turn after approx. 2.6 km onto path no. 531, which crosses path no. 30A and leads back to Monte Pana.
Longer Variant: Past Saltria to the Hotel Tirler (path no. 9) to Zallinger and from there over the Ochsenwald forest (path no. 531), which ends at the forest road (path no. 30), by which you easily return to Monte Pana.
When running, you should always wear running shoes with non-slip soles. A suitable outfit for the time of year and a trail-running rucksack with a drink are also essential.
At the beginning of the summer season, some sections may still be snow-covered, depending on weather conditions. Please enquire about conditions before setting off on your hike.
