The Dolomites Ultra Trail is a running event in the heart of the Dolomites UNESCO World Natural Heritage. It takes place on public, not closed roads, forest and hiking trails, on alpine and partly high alpine climbs. Since 26. 06. 2009 the Dolomites belong to the UNESCO World Natural Heritage, whose protection and preservation is a common cultural concern. Unique mountain landscapes of extraordinary beauty will be passed through, the monumental and colourful landscape of the Dolomites will fascinate the participants.

The Dolomites Ultra Trail starts in Brixen at 560 meters above sea level. The route follows forest, meadow and forest paths via Afers (10 km) to Russikreuz (20 km). Continue on hiking trails to the Schlütter Hut (28 km), high alpine climbs to the Puez Hut (39 km) and again on hiking trails down to Campill (47 km). Here it goes again on beautiful climbs up to the Fornella Hhut (57 km), further to the Rossalm to Kreuztal (71 km). The final descent on hiking trails leads directly to the starting point in Brixen (84 km).

From the car park in the village centre you hike in a north-westerly direction for 100 m along the Strada del Sole Road until you reach the Ternerbach River. This is the start of the educational mills path. Follow the sign-posts. At half way you reach  the pyramids. After approximately 10 min. you will get to the 5 main mills. At Hansleitner Mill you can cross the bridge leading to the other side of the river. You hike past an old farm and reach the ski lift. From here you take the field path back to the village centre. You will get to Hotel Wiedenhofer and back to the Strada del Sole Road. Duration: 1,5 h

It starts at 560 m altitude, in the historic cathedral square of Bressanone, to reach the summit of Mount Plose, at an altitude of 2,450 m, after having covered exactly 42.195 km and overcome 2,450 m of altitude difference.

The route runs through forests and meadows, with stretches also on asphalt roads up to S. Andrea (1,062 m). Then continue on paths and forest roads until Eores (1,504 m). With a view of Sass Putia and the Dolomites, the run continues on asphalted roads, entering the valley and climbing up to the Rossalm refuge. From there, always on paths and forest roads you reach Valcroce (2,050 m). From the hiking trail that leads to Malga Buoi you can appreciate the magnificent view of the valley floor and the start in Bressanone, before tackling the last 3.2 km and 400 m of altitude difference.

At the finish line the spectacular panorama of the surrounding mountains will take the runners' breath away.  A double emotion for all athletes: a challenging marathon and a panorama that repays all the efforts made - that is "running to the limits".

The “Birmehl” trail begins in the village centre of Verdings and leads through the arid meadows of the southern side of the church hill down to the hamlet of Pardell and from there up to the beautifully situated Moar zu Viersch farm. An old cobblestone path takes you back to your set-off point.

This hike is not only interesting for amateur mineralogists, but it is also very rewarding scenically. The Villanders mine was one of the best known and most profitable mines in Tyrol and it dates back to the 12th century.

Starting off from the Jochtal lift valley terminal, follow the Dynafitweg trail that leads uphill towards the Nockalm hut and to the mountain station Jochtal. In winter this trail is used as a ski tour trail.

Reflection Path of the 7 Sorrows of Mary
Since ancient years many cultures have realised pilgrimage trails to places where the Divine can be experienced in a very special way. The oldest church of Terenten, St. Zeno in Pein, is such a divine place. The chapel was constructed in the area of a prehistoric settlement from the 12th century with the aim of building a Christian church on top of a pagan worship. The path is not only a walking trail for locals and tourists; it is a path of reflection dedicated to the suffering of Jesus and the sorrows of Mary.
1st Sorrow: The prophecy of Simeon; 2nd Sorrow: Flight into Egypt; 3rd Sorrow: The Loss of Jesus in the Temple of Jerusalem; 4th Sorrow: Mary meets Jesus on the way to the cross; 5th Sorrow: Jesus Dies on the Cross; 6th sorrow Mary receives the dead body of her son; 7th Sorrow: Jesus is laid in the tomb.

Mountain hike crossing the Plose and way back on the Zirm high level path. From the top station of the cable car northwards, next to the fence, there is path n. 7 which crosses the south-east hillside of Schönjöchl and takes you to the same named saddle. Continuing close to the fence it takes you to the Plose hut (2445 m). Just a few hundred meters away there is Mt. Telegraph with the panoramic table. From there you can enjoy the spectacular 360° view of the Dolomites and Zillertaler Alps – all in all over 100 peaks. For the descent to Ochsenalm (path n. 6) a sure foot is requested. Once you have reached Ochsenalm, you follow path n. 30, the Brixen High Level Path, all the way back to the cable car.

The fresh mountain waters of the Ganderbach mountain torrent (2,000 m) cascade down the Barbian Waterfalls from the Barbianer Alm high moors. The hike to the waterfalls from the town of Barbian/Barbiano is along a narrow and partly secured trail.

You will find us on the Plose, the local mountain of Brixen, where the Eisack valley displays its natural beauty and heaven and earth are particularly close. Dark forests and soft meadows are our only neighbors. The Trametsch mountain hut – led by Roswitha and Andreas Ellemund- is above Plose valley station and is easily accessible to visitors by car (large car park), as well as to hikers and skiers. As restaurant located right at the bottom of the mountain, we are open all year round. In addition to daily activity, our restaurant in Brixen at the Plose is available also for diverse celebrations and events.

The little town of Chiusa, wedged into the Eisacktal valley between the main road and the Brenner Pass motorway, is often overlooked by the cars whizzing by - but this is a mistake. The town centre boasts an astonishing wealth of medieval architectural treasures. Anyone embarking on this medieval tour should therefore allow enough time to immerse themselves in the history of the town of Chiusa. There is a lot to see: the crypt, the parish church, the old Town Hall, to name just a few. And when you're tired of walking, you'll find plenty of cafés and restaurants hidden behind the ancient façades.

Our bar is near the vallystation Gitschberg Meransen
