Easy hike to one of the most important places of pilgrimage in the Pustertal valley, whose little church " Unserer Lieben Frau von Loreto" was built around the middle of the 17th century.
Partir pour une randonnée hivernale, sur des sentiers parfaitement tracés, c'est découvrir le côté paisible du Sud-Tyrol. Points de vue enchanteurs dans les Dolomites, forêts enneigées dans les tranquilles vallées voisines, dans la région du Kronplatz... Les endroits ne manquent pas où vous pouvez profiter de vous-même et de la nature, dans un silence absolu. En raquettes, vous vous éloignerez des pistes de ski et des remontées mécaniques pour découvrir des forêts encore totalement préservées. Mais, que ce soit en raquettes ou à pied, randonner en hiver dans le Sud-Tyrol sera toujours une expérience inoubliable.

Take the cable car and the chair lift up. About sunny plateaus teaseling Bühel on Vigiljoch. The road (Mark. 4) leads slightly downhill to the west, crosses the path of a small ski lift and leads between the inn and the church of St. Jocher.
From there you follow the markings 9-30 in moderate ascents through the forests to the south and southwest. From a large clearing, which can be reached on the southern edge, suddenly the rough Bühel is right diagonally forward to identify on which (unfortunately) are an antenna system and a hunter high level. The direct descent to Naturnser Alm is possible, but more difficult. The short descent back to the gate and the circumnavigation is also the next hilltop, where you a beautifully located plateau crossed by the north (Mark. 9B) and short to Naturnser Alm (no winter) descends.
From Naturnser Alm it's off to Mark. 30 in the north-east mainly through forest back to San Vigilio.
