Hiking along the Sarntal Alps: 7 days - 81 km - 4,990 metres

The Sarntaler Hufeisentour is a seven-day hike in the Sarntal Alps.

The hike “Perlenweg” links the four villages Nova Ponente (Deutschnofen), Nova Levante (Welschnofen), Collepietra (Steinegg) and Tires (Tiers). Those surround the mountains Rosengarten and Latemar. They are part of the Dolomites and count to the UNESCO World Heritage Site.   

Among 80 km (49miles), divided into 5 stages, for each considering 1 day, this hike allows an insight in this breathtaking area.

The Perlenweg is very attractive for professionals or for free time hikers. Easily it can be chosen the level of difficulty. There are few possibilities to take public transport and stops in the traditional hovels. The curiosity of this hike is that it can be mounted from both directions.

Hiking through Passeier Valley

The E5 (Constance – Bozen – Venice) is one of the special European routes. Almost all of the route is an Alpine route and is marked most of the way as E5. This part of the route describes the part from the Austrian / Italian border at the Timmelsjoch through the Passeier Valley to Bozen.

The way is marked always well and crosses a nature protected zone of full fascinations. This way was already committed by the smugglers.

The romanesque church St.Jakob on the Langfenn is positioned on the most visible and on the highest point of the Salto (1525m). The church stands on prehistoric ground and could tell us probabely many interesting and exciting historical things. On the altar we can see Saint Jakob, the protector of all hikers, and on his side the two Patrons of the pest, Rochus and Sebastian..

The path begins together with the Dolomites High Route 2 in Bressanone, later the paths separate. The Dolomites High Route 8 offers a relatively easy crossing of the Dolomites. It was built relatively late, in 1981, from the existing network of paths. The most demanding part of the route is the passage from the Passo di Costalunga to the hut Rifugio di Pisa. Since there are many bases, the path can be followed in quite short stages, which makes it also exciting for families with children. The duration of the trail should be between 10 and 13 days.

Dolomites World Heritage Geotrail II - from Bletterbach to the Sexten Dolomites

A hiking trail to discover the fossil archipelago of the  Dolomites UNESCO World Hetitage

In 2009 UNESCO listed the Dolomites as a World Heritage Site for the aesthetic value of its landscape and for the scientific importance of its geology and geomorphology. From this arose the idea of designing a trekking route through the Dolomites that would present this spectacular history and beauty to hiker.

The Dolomites World Heritage Geotrail explores the entire Dolomites World Heritage Site in 47 stages. 10 of these stages run through the South Tyrolean Dolomites, traversing some of the most beautiful and geologically interesting mountain ranges in the region. There are breathtaking views to be had along a route that features plenty of opposites, while hiking is a unique experience along the well-marked, well-maintained paths.

The Geotrail is thus a combination of long-distance footpath and educational trail. The individual stages of this trail are also possible as day tours; you can almost always use public transport to get back to your starting point or to return from the day’s destination. The main challenge is nevertheless to attempt the Geotrail in ten days, taking the time to explore a unique world full of secrets and for a while escaping the hustle and bustle of our (over-)organised everyday world.

Lenght: 176 km

Duration: 10 days

The Lower Engadin villages of Guarda, Ardez & Lavin and the Upper Vinschgau village of Matsch have a lot in common - the Rhaeto-Romanic language, the pristine mountain world and now the first cross-border multi-day tour from mountaineering village to mountaineering village.

The second stage starts on the Chamonna Tuoi CAS and leads over the Lai Blau to Alp Sura and along the tree line to the village of Ardez, with its striking "Steinsberg".


The route starts below the mighty Piz Buin in the direction of the picturesque Lai Blau (2,613 m above sea level), where it is worth taking a short break. Along the western flank you reach Alp Sura, which offers the ideal view for a short lunch break. Above the tree line with a magnificent view of the Lower Engadine and the unique villages, you hike via the hamlet of Munt d'Ardez to Ardez, the second stage destination.

Starting in Trodena/Truden we take the European long distance path E5. We walk through a wonderful mixed coniferous forest, partly on a forestry trail, partly on an old path and we get to the col "Ziss-Sattel". The trail continues to the alpine cabin "Hornalm" on 1.710m which is surrounded by large meadows and high alpine plants: gentian, milkworts, sulfuric anemones and bearded bellflowers. The panoramic view from the Hornalm is surely worth the tiring climb: You have a wonderful view over the mountain chain "Lagoraikette", the Palagruppe, the two mountains Schwarzhorn and Weißhorn, the Zanggenberg, the Latemar, the Rosengarten group, the Schlern and the Alps of the Stubaital and Ötztal. After a side-trip to the "Schwarzensee", a black lake and biotope, we walk around the top of the Trudner Horn and take the path E5 back to Trodena.

The route of the the Dolomites High Route n. 9 , unlike most other Dolomite High Altitude Trails, runs as a transversal from west to east over the ridges of the Dolomites, most of which rise from south to north.

Long-distance hiking trail with panoramic views
The Dolomites High Trail No. 9 starts in the provincial capital of South Tyrol, Bozen/Bolzano, then crosses South Tyrol and part of the province of Belluno. The stages of the long-distance hiking trail are really short and therefore also suitable for hikers with less physical condition. This long-distance hike takes you to the most beautiful places in the Dolomites. The route is taken within 12 to 14 days.

Scenic hike for those in search of great views – and for high mountain hiking enthusiasts!
