Hiking

Sexten/Sesto, Dolomites Region 3 Zinnen
from center
Challenging mountain hike on lonely paths
  • Pure silence and solitude away from the crowds
  • Ideal for nature lovers and peace seekers
  • Fantastic views of the surrounding mountain world
Itinerary
From Moos (1,346 m), take the Heideckstraße to the junction at "Liener Stoll," where a path leads west onto the Sexten Circular Trail (No. 1); follow this towards the Fischleintal valley, passing the Heideck fortress until the intersection with trail No. 12. Continue on trail No. 12 through shady forest, winding uphill until the Innergsell meadows open up above the tree line; a narrow path finally leads to the highest point of this extensive alpine pasture – the so-called "Rosshimmel" at 2,065 m, offering an impressive view of the mighty rock scenery of the Sexten Sundial. The path then leads briefly westward downhill, then across a scree field below the Gsellknoten over to the Außergsell (2,007 m); the descent initially follows trail No. 12A down to the picturesque meadows of the "Frohne" in Sexten, from where you comfortably return to the starting point in Moos. Since there is no managed hut along the way, it is recommended to bring sufficient provisions – numerous beautiful spots along the route invite you to enjoy a picnic.
