Wandelingen in het zuiden van Zuid-Tirol

Starting from a breathtaking landscape at the foot of the Sassolungo group, this relaxed snowshoe trail leads through snow-covered forests to Monte Pana.

The Art & Nature Trail “Troi UNIKA” puts the focus on art and nature – on the artistic quality of the mountains and on the tradition of carving, deeply rooted in Val Gardena.
Members of the sculpting association “Unika” and other craft artists have expressed their bond to nature by creating places to linger, contemplate and understand.
A total of ten stations invite you to discover the small and big wonders of nature and to admire the original Val Gardena wooden sculptures:
1. Sculpture “The Spiral”
2. The bridge
3. Rest area in the wood
4. Sculpture “The Feather”
5. Trees and rocks
6. 200-year-old spruce
7. View over the valley
8. Sculpture “Pultredes”
9. The Ants
10. The root

From Feldthurns, take trail 18, which brings you to Schnauders. From there, follow trails no. 17 and 16 to Garn, where trail no. 10 leads on to Verdings and then no. 3 down to Moar zu Viersch. From there, the Chestnut Trail leads you back to Feldthurns.

Short and easy hike on the alpine pastures west above Latzfons, which connect to the Villanders alpine pastures near the Stöffl hut. The hike is recommended for seniors and families with children.

A section of the chestnut trail from Feldthurns via Moar to Viersch in Pardell to Verdings.

An oversized bird's nest is inviting, as is a flood model and other highlights.

Experiments can be carried out on site and research questions solved at 19 stations on various nature-related topics. The nature experience trail is just as suitable for families as it is for school classes, groups and guests. Everything is signposted in German and Italian.

From "How old was this tree?" to "What local materials can you recognise at this station?", there is something for young and old explorers alike. And the answer "I don't know that yet" is okay! What researcher knows everything straight away? Perhaps the next visit to the Schludernser Au forest or the one after that will shed some light...

A lovingly designed research booklet is used to write down the research results and to continue researching next time. The booklet will be available from spring 2024 at the Schluderns and Mals information offices and can also be found in a special box at the entrance to the nature experience trail  in the Schludernser Au. The research booklet is available in German and Italian.

There is also a RESEARCH BACKPACK for the nature experience trail in the Schludernser Au, which can be borrowed from the Schluderns and Mals information offices from spring 2024 for a deposit. With the 12 aids and tools from the backpack, the tasks are even easier to solve. With a stethoscope, metre stick and beaker magnifier etc., researching in a team is even more fun. There are also plenty of research backpacks for school classes or groups.

Moderately difficult hike to the Latzfons Cross, the highest pilgrimage church in Europe.

Da non perdere è la chiesa nel piccolo borgo di Monte Santa Caterina
eretta su un pronunciato spuntone roccioso e visibile già da lontano.
Poco sopra Unterstell c’è un belvedere che offre un panorama
eccezionale. Al di sotto di questo punto panoramico è stata aperta
una facile ferrata ideale per neofiti e famiglie.

Directed to the mountain church of S. Vigilius, the faith trail consists of six stations where we can meditate on the values and issues of life. The faith trail is the bearer of a universal message and is an invitation to discover and strenghten our faith. We travel the paths of our lives searching and believing. May this trail sustain us in this journey of discovery and of belief. P. Peter Unterhofer.

 

A wonderful hike that leads via the Burg and Ochsentodweg to Thurnstein Castle and further to Tirol Castle.

These wetlands, known as Schludernser Au or Schludernser Erlenwaldbiotop alder biotope became a protected site in 1976 and cover an area of about 140 hectares. These meadowlands are the biologically most productive habitats with the greatest biodiversity. The education trail through alder woods, ponds, natural streams and rough gravel with 12 information boards in the Natura 2000 region, a veritable treasure trove of life and a refuge for endangered animals and plants.

Experience the outdoors with all your senses on an excursion for the entire family! Fun, games and adventure are guaranteed! The Urlesteig trail gets its name from the Urlelockn ponds, the geological heart of South Tyrol. Six themed areas are laid out along the trail: Water, Animals, History & Culture, Plants, Forces of Nature and Alpine Pasture.

Following the path along the old irrigation canals you come to a stunning lookout point above Naturno. This panoramic hike offers fantastic views of the Schnalstal Valley, Juval Castle and Vinschgau Valley, as well as of the Sonnenberg.

The so called "Knottnkino" on the rock Rotsteinkogel is a special view point. Enjoy a wonderful panorama on the Rotsteinkogel. From here you have a view on the Texel, the Penegal and you can see even the Weißhorn. The Etsch-Valley spreads under the rock. There are 30 armchairs made of steel and chestnut wood. If you sit down, you can enjoy nature as a whole, as if you where sitting in a cinema.

Along the hiking path from Rio Molino to Valdaora di Sotto were positioned different blocks of stone from all the different regions of Alto Adige. On the information boards next to the blocks you can get all the information about them. The hiking path now is a place of experience, a place of communication, a place for learn & linger.

The starting point for this fantastic snowshoe hike is the car park in Valdurna/Durnholz. After a short ascent to the outflow of the lake, it is already time to put on your snowshoes. Following the lovely forest trail on the orographic left bank to the northern end of lake, the tour then continues along the stream, first to the east through the Großalmtal valley in shade but glittering with powder snow. As you gain height you come to sunny pasture ridges and via the Innerhütten-Alm Alpine pasture to the Fortschellscharte gap.

Tip: when snow conditions are good, definitely ascend the nearby Kassianspitze peak (2,581 m, ascent: approx. 1 hour).

Reverse the route to return to the starting point at the Valdurna car park.

With the Dolomiti SuperSummer Card, the famous Sellaronda ski tour is also walkable in July and August. The Sellaronda HIKE tour is fascinating because of the unique panorama of the four Ladin valleys and three Italian provinces around the Sella massif. Be aware, the tour is very long and requires good physical condition. Start early in the morning with the first lift and take a packed lunch with you.
Not suitable for families.

A challenging snowshoe hike to the " Stone cairns" with a spectacular view of the surrounding snowy mountain world awaits you.
