Hiking tour Peitlerkofel

Climbing on the Peitlerkofel in South Tyrol.

The Peitlerkofel is also best reached via the Villnößtal or the Würzjoch and represents a massive cornerstone of the Dolomites. It can be considered one of the most beautiful panoramic mountains in the Dolomites.

Zanser Alm

Peitlerkofel

From the Zanser Alm, follow the road and markings no. 33, 35 to the Schlüterhütte, on the Kreuzkofeljoch. From here you hike to the Peitlerscharte without losing much altitude. The route to the summit of the Peitlerkofel is made up of steep hairpin bends and, at the end, some easy climbing, made easier by wire ropes and steps carved into the rock. The way back is the same as the way there.
