A pleasant winter walk to relax and simply enjoy life in a quite area on Seiser Alm. This route offers a breathtaking view of the Schlern/Sciliar mountain, almost within hand’s reach from the Spitzbühl, and leads onwards over endless snow-covered alpine meadows back to the starting point.
From the Spitzbühl car park, the walk leads up to the Spitzbühl hut, where the views sweep over to the Schlern mountain, so close you could practically touch it, with the Santner and Euringer peaks. If you prefer, you can save yourself this effort and take the Spitzbühl chairlift. The hike then leads slightly downhill to the Gstatsch hut. From there you get up to the Laurin hut. The way back leads across extensive alpine meadows, past the mountain station of the Panorama chairlift to Compatsch and back to the Spitzbühl parking lot.
(also recommended in the opposite direction, beginning in Compatsch)
