    Hiking in South Tyrol

    The sun is out, you’re fully packed – now where do you want to go? The peaks, pinnacles and towers of the Dolomites gleam invitingly in the morning light. Are they even more beautiful from the summit? The valleys are criss-crossed with trails through vineyards and apple orchards, past imposing castles, around enchanting lakes and along the Waalweg canal trails. South Tyrol has more than 16,000 km of signposted hiking trails that run through the ever-changing natural landscape, including themed trails, multi-day tours and high-Alpine trails.

The ascents to the Hofmannspitze, Müllerhütte, Wilden Freiger and Becherhaus also lead directly past the alpine pasture. The Timmelsalm is one of the so-called "Gerichtsalmen" of the Passeier Valley.

In early summer, sheep and goats are the first to arrive, followed by milking cows for the alpine pasture and galt cattle, i.e. young cows or those that do not produce milk.

    Oclini - Corno nero
    Aldein/Aldino
    It is the higher of the two peaks of Oclini, and so the climb is a tad more strenuous than the Corno Bianco, but the views from the summit certainly make up for it.
    When you reach the summit, which is a very wide peak with a large cross, you can look out over the slope that overlooks Val di Fiemme. On the southern horizon is an exceptional view of the Lagorai chain and far to the southeast, of the Pale di S. Martino group. The one proposed here does not require special athletic and mountaineering training but steady pace and attention (the first section is rocky and some sections are a bit exposed).
