South Tyrol is the varied Mecca for runners. Whether uphill, downhill, flat, on asphalt, in forests, on meadows or over hill and dale: every runner gets his money's worth in South Tyrol. The offer of signposted and well-maintained running trails is large and ranges from the running paradise at the Reschensee to the healthy altitude training on the Seiser Alm.
From the mountain station of the funicular railway at 2,103 m altitude we run first westward to the Resciesa summit cross. There we take a little time to enjoy the breathtaking panorama and to cast a look into the neighbouring Val di Funes. After that we take paths no. 10, 31 and 35 toward the Brogles Saddle, whereas we stay approximately at the same elevation, making this run a real pleasure. Arriving at the Brogles Saddle we can either run back the same way to the funicular, or we turn right onto path n. 5, which leads into the path no. 9 through Val d’Anna and finally brings us back to Ortisei. Just before we reach the village we come to a Kneipp facility in Val d’Anna, where we can cool our legs.

Easy stroll around Lake Caldaro. Gentle incline. If you wish to avoid one of the uphill climbs, we recommend you start the circular trail heading towards the south.

We recommend you take this excursion during the morning.
