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)
