Wandelingen in het zuiden van Zuid-Tirol

This path leads you from the valley station of the Col Raiser cable way, via Rifugio Firenze to the starting point of the Seceda Ridge Line trail.
The Ridge Line Trail hike, with its spectacular cliffside views, starts from the top station of the Seceda cable car and leads up to the summit cross at 2,519 m, continuing on to the Forcella Pana. There you will find a viewpoint with the surrounding peaks clearly marked.

The actual Ridge Line Trail is about 1 km long and can be comfortably completed in around one hour at a leisurely pace, including stops to enjoy the panorama. 

Please note: descending east from the summit cross (trail no. 6) you will now find a turnstile (€ 5) that allows continued access to the trail up to the Forcella Pana. This section is not strictly necessary, as you will already have enjoyed stunning views from higher up.

To continue your hike into the Puez-Odle Nature Park or down to the Mastlé Alp located below, you can also take trail no. 1, which branches off further down.

This route follows the forest road, along an old and gradually ascending military route (easy route), with some Alpine terrain (individual snow fields are possible).

The crossing of the Eisjöchl ridge is only advised when the Stettiner Hütte Alpine hut is open (normally between 1 July – end of September, depending on weather conditions). Information about the opening hours can be obtained from the Schnalstal Valley tourist office or the Passeiertal Valley tourist office, which can  also inform you about current conditions on the ridge.

The Stettiner Hütte was swept away by an avalanche in 2013/14. It was rebuilt in 2020/2021 and has been open again since summer 2022.

Hiking time:
Eishof–Eisjöchl–Stettiner Hütte · 3 hours

Above Gargazon, the Kröll tower, which dates back to the Middle Ages, rises out of the forest. But the tower is not at the beginning of the way.

(Access to the waterfall is currently closed until further notice).

You should not have it in a hurry. Rather, the Kröllturmrunde is a pleasure hike for the whole family. Along the way there are rest areas, some with loungers, others with seating.

Along the way, 14 stations with various texts from the Bible and matching relief carvings invite you to pause for a moment. Both the Lordesstöckl on the way to the forest chapel and the clear fountain at the 9th station of the contemplation trail are always popular with visitors and locals alike.
The history of the forest chapel is interesting: the church, which is almost entirely made of wood, was built around 1917, as the parish church in Sesto was badly damaged during the First World War. For 14 days, the farmers and the priest at the time worked on the church from early in the morning until nightfall. The wood for this came from a hay barn that had been crushed by the snow. In 1917 and 1918, every church service was celebrated there and, especially during the fascist era, the forest chapel served as a hiding place to hold masses in German. Today, the chapel is also known as the Peace Chapel and was restored in 1974. In 1988, at the suggestion of the then parish priest Markus Küer and in collaboration with the Sesto woodcarver Georg Lanzinger, a path of reflection was laid out to the chapel. Near the chapel there are cup stones, which are among the oldest traces of settlement in Sesto and are also the last of the biblical stations along the path of reflection.

The tour starts at the valley station of the Resciesa funicular in Ortisei. After taking the ride up, follow trail no. 35 over the Brogles Saddle to the Brogles Hut.
