Itinerary

Individual arrival at the first hotel in Alta Pusteria. Free, unguarded public car park near the hotel.

(approx. 15 km, ascent 550 Hm)

From Villabassa/Dobbiaco a transfer takes you to the valley Campo di Dentro in Sesto. First, you walk through wintry meadows and larch woods until you get to the „Drei Schuster“ hut at the feet of the mighty Dolomites peaks. Taste the speciality of the house: warm „Apfelküchlein“ and enjoy the view of the „Dreischusterspitze“, as well as the “Schwabenalpenkopf“ before getting to Sesto by public bus.

(approx. 14 km, ascent 550 Hm)

Immerge into the Dolomites of Sesto: the „Zwölferkofel“ in front of you, on your right the „Dreischusterspitze“; you feel very small in between the magnificence of nature. From Passo Monte Croce you walk to Nemesalm through Klammbachalm. After a short break, you walk back to the Passo Monte Croce.

(approx. 6 km, ascent 500 Hm)

In the morning our driver brings you to the starting point of the hiking path at the restaurant „Gasthof Brückele“. The trail leads you along the Stolla stream through a quiet valley to the homonymous hut. The mighty Croda Rossa towers above you. Soon the valley opens up and you reach the Prato Piazza plateau.

(approx. 10 km, ascent 325 Hm)

Starting from Prato Piazza, you hike to the Monte Specie. The ascent itself is marked by a breath-taking panorama of the great peaks of the Pragser Dolomites, such as the Hohe Gaisl or the Seekofel. The Strudelkopf offers one of the most beautiful panoramic views in the Dolomites to the peaks of the Drei Zinnen (Three Peaks), the Cadini group, Monte Cristallo, the Tofana and the Marmolada.

(approx. 11 km, ascent 440 Hm)

After the transfer to the starting point of the tour in Braies/Prags. You walk through the white woods of the Pragser valley to the lake Pragser Wildsee and the Grünwaldalm. With the public bus you return to Villabassa/Dobbiaco.

(approx. 14 km, ascent 675 Hm)

In the morning a transfer takes you to Misurina, where surrounded by mountains you start the hike. Soon you reach Lake Antorno, from there the mountain path leads you to the Auronzo hut, on the south-western side of the world-famous Three Peaks. From the terrace, you can enjoy the stunning panorama of the snow-covered Dolomites! Finally, a transfer takes you back to the hotel, where you can relive the adventures of the day.

Individual departure or possibility to extend your stay.
