Ascent of the Tschafon mountain

Tiers/Tires, Tiers am Rosengarten/Tires al Catinaccio, Dolomites Region Seiser Alm
from center

The Tschafon/Monte Cavone is the local mountain of Tiers, and is one of the many spots in the Seiser Alm Dolomites region which is steeped in myth and legend. With its beautiful panoramic views, this mountain is the perfect day-trip destination.

This hiking tour is included in the family hiking book "Out and about with Nix the witch".

Itinerary
The tour begins at Weisslahnbad in St. Zyprian. Take trail no. 4A towards the Wuhnleger, a small lake whose waters reflect the Rosengarten mountain. The ascent to the Tschafon mountain refuge (open from Easter to All Saints’) begins at the fork in the trail.
If you wish, you can extend your hike to the summit cross on the Völseggspitze peak, at 1,834 m (around 25 min from the Tschafon mountain refuge). From here, you can enjoy a breathtaking far-reaching view over to Bolzano, capital city of South Tyrol, and the surrounding mountains.
To return to Weisslahnbad, follow the ascent route in the opposite direction.
