People have always looked on the Witches’ Benches on the Puflatsch as being a magical spot. It is here that the Schlern witches are said to have gathered together before flying over the Schlern. The witches are no longer here, but their benches are as wonderful as ever: The rocky porphyry boulders in the form of armchairs are a fabulous spot to stop off for a rest.

Beautiful hike to the landmark of South Tyrol with breathtaking views over the Seiser Alm.

Once you have reached the Schlernhaus, it is definitely worth going up to the summit cross of Monte Pez.

The leisurely hike leads at the beginning through open terrain, passing through beautifully situated, southwest-facing meadows from Obervöls.
Soon after the Zimmerlehn estate, you come to the idyllically situated Völser Weiher lake, which invites you to take a dip in the cold water in summer. On the way from the Völser Weiher to Seis, the trail leads through woods and meadows.

With the cable car from Welschnofen you can reach the Frommeralm and the King Laurin Lift to the middle station. From there, take the hiking trail 15 and 7 to the Hanigerschwaige.

Starting from Compatsch on the Seiser Alm (1835 m), passing the new wooden Franziskus church, we follow the small asphalt road that leads to Saltria across the alpine pasture. The traffic-calmed road across the alpine pasture area is used by the typical horse-drawn carriages and horse-drawn sleighs both in summer and in winter. Shortly after the Restaurant Panoramalift we use the pedestrian underpass and after a slight ascent we reach the natural monument Tschonstoan, a huge rocky outcrop, which is located directly at the roadside. The hike continues in slight ups and downs to the wide meadow of the Großes Moos (1860 m). Near a crossroads, we can decide here whether to continue in the direction of Saltria to the nearby Restaurant Ritsch Schwaige or turn left in the direction of Piz. If you continue walking, after a short descent (9%) you leave the asphalt road and take the unpaved road to the Sanon hut on the right. The road leads through beautiful alpine meadows and past several huts dominated by the rocky splendour of the Langkofel and Plattkofel mountains. At a gradient, a path branches off to the left which leads across the meadows down to the alpine pasture: At this point the path becomes much narrower, bumpier and in some places quite steep. Over some wooden footbridges we finally reach the nearby Sanon hut (1848 m). The hut is open all year round and offers a welcome stop for refreshments. The return to Compatsch follows the same route.

This short trail leads over gravel, asphalt and meadow trails, and offers beautiful views over the Schlern and the village of Seis.

The outstandingly beautiful Via Ferrata Santner is secured with steel ropes, iron hooks and ladders, it leads you through small gullies and narrow passes, the most challenging of which is the “Ice Gully”, a small gully which is often covered in hard-packed snow even in August. Due to risk of landslides, this route should only be climbed uphill and not downhill. After you leave the Ferrata at the Santnerpass mountain hut, the trail goes on to the refuge Gartlhütte Hut through the valley of Vajolettal and the Tschagerjoch back to the Kölnerhütte Hut.

This route is fairly short, not particularly challenging on a technical level and, at 200 m of altitude difference, is classed as one of the easier runs.

A varied route along tarred trails and gentle forest paths, with beautiful views of Tiers am Rosengarten.
