Region Dolomitów 3 Zinnen

The Drei Zinnen Alpine Run is the sporting event in the Sesto Dolomites and one of the mountain run classics. An adventurous weekend is guaranteed: Fun and entertainment for the whole family with international athletes.

Every year in september the race takes 1000 athletes through the stunning scenery of the Sesto Dolomites to the finish at the Rifugio Antonio Locatelli S. Innerkofler just below the world famous Three Peaks. This is what makes it one of the most beautiful mountain runs in the world. With a distance of 17.5 km and an altitude differential of 1,350 m it demands a high level of fitness.

Leaving the town towards west, shortly before the gas station, turn right and go up until the Hotel "Schopfenhof". From there go straight ahead and you will pass several farms until arriving to Dobbiaco/Toblach. Return by bus or train. Otherwise you can also return on foot, starting from the train station in "Neutoblach" and following the bike route along the rails to San Candido/Innichen.

The hike starts directly at the mountain station of the cable car Stiergarten and leads from there always slightly downhill over the Klammbachalm down to Moos valley.

Leisurely hike on the path nr. 4, starting from San Candido and passing the Cappella del Bosco/Waldkapelle chapel, until reaching Sesto/Sexten.

Legends and stories about the Sextner Tal valley and the Alta Pusteria/Hochpustertal valley have been told and passed on here for years. Now these many fairytales and stories have been used to create a Fable Trail (Fabelweg) in Sesto. Figures depicting characters from all kinds of legends have been set up along the route, giving visitors an insight into a different world.

Scenically beautiful Alpine ridgeway with views of the main peaks of the Sexten Dolomites.
No car is necessary for this long, but not difficult, circular hike due to the dense network of trails, but you will need a good hiking map!

The hike starts directly at the mountain station Monte Elmo, reachable by the cable car Sesto or the cable car Versciaco. From there it goes to the Rifugio Larice and further on the Mitterberg to the valley station Monte Elmo Sesto.

This is an easy but very nice hike, where you have the possibility to half it, going back by bus from the Passo Monte Croce. Many visible residuals from World War I. 

If you are looking for solitude and want to enjoy nature and its sea of flowers to the full, the western circuit of the Gsell mountain is highly recommended. It can be walked either directly from the centre of Sexten or from the Innerfeldtal valley.

Quite a challenging hike to the Haunoldköpfl panoramic mountain south of San Candido/Innichen. The hiking trail becomes quite steep in some places towards the end. However, when you reach the summit you have a breathtaking view of San Candido that makes all your efforts worthwhile. There is also a section during the climb up where you can catch a glimpse of all three of the Three Peaks.

The hike starts directly at the mountain station Stiergarten and from there it goes always slightly downhill over the malga Klammbach to the malga Nemes and from there via Froneben back to the village of Moso.

Quite difficult, but very beautiful hike, starting from the Val Campo di Dentro/Innerfeldtal Valley in the middle of the unique Three Peaks Nature Park. The path until the destination Three Peaks is entirely on the Alpine Dolomites Hiking Path No. 4. At arrival on Rifugio Locatelli/Drei-Zinnen-Hütte Mountain Hut you will have a stunning view of the Three Peaks.

An extremely scenic, six-kilometre high-altitude trail that follows old war trails and can also be recommended to less experienced mountain hikers, especially as the ascent can be done by lift and the way back by bus. The good trail leads from the Rotwand meadows, partly at the tree line, partly above it at the foot of vertical rockfalls, almost flat to the Kreuzberg Pass. From the path there are beautiful views of the Carnic ridge and the ice peaks of the Rieserferner group to the north. 

From the top of the Mount Elmo across the Alta Via Carnica and through wood until Innichen / San Candido.

The hike starts directly at the mountain station Monte Elmo, reachable by the cable car from Sesto or the cable car from Versciaco. From there it goes over a wide forest road slightly uphill to the Rifugio Gallo Cedrone. 

The hike starts directly at the mountain station of Monte Baranci, accessible by the 4-seater chairlift from the centre of San Candido/Innichen. From there you pass the Bagni di San Candido and then you arrive again in the town. 

Comfortable hike through the beautiful and scenic valley Innerfeldtal. A special feature is the view of the mighty rocky backdrop of the Dreischusterspitze/Punta dei Tre Scarperi.

Probably one of the nicest hikes in the San Candido/Innichen region. Its main attraction is the wonderful peaks of the Sexten Dolomites that tower over the whole of the Innerfeldtal valley. The area is also part of the Drei Zinnen Nature Park and is therefore a place of special beauty and tranquillity. The destination for this hike is the Dreischusterhütte mountain hut, which is open from June to the beginning of October and also has accommodation. The hike is relatively easy with no particularly difficult sections.

The hike starts directly at the mountain station Stiergarten  and leads from there always slightly downhill over the Malga Klammbach to the Malga Nemes and from there to the Passo Monte Croce. From there the ski bus brings you back to the starting point Signaue.

The meadows of the Gsell mountain are an insider tip for nature lovers and those seeking peace and quiet. The meadows of Inner- and Außergsell spread out on the north side of the mighty Dreischusterspitze. The Gsellwiesen meadows are traditionally mown and the larch meadows are evidence of the mountain farming landscape.
A hike of tranquillity - solitude and silence paired with magnificent panoramas. The view of the nearby peaks of the Sexten Dolomites and the Carnic mountain ridge and the impressive view down to Sexten are particularly rewarding.
You should bring your own food and refreshments, as there is no catered hut.

It is a forest path of cosiness, no altitude difference and no special impulses. You will always have the village of Sesto on your right. From the reservoir through the forest to San Candido.

Short, not particulary difficult climbing path with long rising and falling section in an isolated area. Good orientation skills required. From the car park directly at the lake along the road to the “Riedlhof”, then on the path no. 20 to “Alpe di Pra della Vacca/Kühwiesenhütte” and continue on the path no. 61 and the climbing path until the peak of “Cima dei Colli Alti/Hochalpenkopf”. Walking time: 6 hours Challenge: ** (moderate difficulty)

A leisurely hike from Sesto to the idyllic Fischleintal/Val Fiscalina valley with a fantastic view on the Dolomites of Sexten.

Long hike on the path nr. 4, starting from San Candido and passing the Cappella del Bosco Chapel, until reaching the Baita del Cacciatore Mountain Hut. Return on the same route.

22.07. - 06.09.2024: the hiking trail remains closed due to work.

Panorama: from the Forcella del Lago spectacular view into the heart of the Dolomites of Sesto

The highlight of this winter hike are the views of the wonderful peaks of the Sexten Dolomites which can be enjoyed all the way along the hike. The whole area is also part of the Drei Zinnen Nature Park and is therefore a place of special beauty and tranquillity, especially in winter. The destination is the Dreischusterhütte mountain hut, where you can fortify yourself for the return route. The hut is open from Christmas to the end of March. The hike itself is relatively easy, a pleasant walk right across the Innerfeldtal valley.

From Baranci/Haunold valley station follow the route 28 and then route 6 to the "Riese-Haunold-Hütte" mountain refuge. Then take the steep path next to the ski lift "Untertal" which brings you first to "Maierkaser" (unmanaged hut) and then to "Pausa Ganda/Gantraste". You will have a beautiful view over San Candido!

This easy round walk brings you on the top of the Mount Elmo. It is one of the most beautiful vista points and offers a 360 ° view with the central Alps mountains in the north and the many, many Dolomites peaks in the south. This tour is ok also for a half day trip.
