The Geologists’ Trail takes you on a journey through the history of the Earth. Over millions of years waters of the Frötschbach stream have eroded the rock strata, revealing how the Dolomites came into being. With spectacular waterfalls en-route, this trail offers hikers and amateur geologists a beautiful hike and a fascinating insight into the Earth’s history.
Leave from Bad Ratzes and cross the Frötschbach stream. After the bridge, take a left onto the trail signposted “Schlernbödele Hütte mountain hut, Prossliner Schwaige mountain hut” (trail no. 1). The route then leads through the Frötschbach gorge and past a few waterfalls. At a fork in the road, head downhill to the left (trail no. 1A), over the stream and on to the other bank. From here, climb up the steep slope to the Alpine meadows of the Prossliner Schwaige mountain hut and carry on into the valley above the Frötschbach. Then head down to the Schlernbödele Hütte mountain hut (trail no. 1), and wind your way further down along the steep woody banks. The last stretch to Bad Ratzes follows the outward route.
Please check the opening hours of the huts and restaurants: www.seiseralm.it/huts

By bus line 15 from the valley station of the Seis-Seiser Alm cable car or the bus station of Seis to Bad Ratzes.
