Hiking

Snowshoe walk from the Villanderer Alm to the Rittner Horn

Villanders/Villandro, Brixen/Bressanone and environs
Snowshoe hike from Gasserhütte via Mair in Plun and Gasteig Saddle to Rittner Horn, with beautiful views across the winter landscape
from center
The Villandro Alpine Pasture, high above the Isarco Valley and the Brenner motorway, is one of South Tyrol’s lesser-known winter sports areas. This is probably because there are no lifts here—only cross-country ski trails and winter hiking paths.
Itinerary

The snowshoe hike to the Rittner Horn starts at the Gasserhütte. Follow the groomed winter hiking trail first to the Mair in Plun hut and from there to the Gasteiger Sattel. Then continue on to the Rittner Horn. Along the route, the Mair in Plun hut, the Oberes Horn Haus and the Gasserhütte are great places to stop for refreshments. The return follows the same route as the way out.
