Short description

Hike from Kastelruth to the jagged Rosszahn peaks near the Schlern massif.

Description

There are many striking rock formations in the Dolomites. However, the Rosszahn in the Sciliar area are particularly bizarre and unique in their appearance, forming a breathtaking contrast to the gentle alpine meadows of the Alpe di Siusi.

Starting point of the tour

Hotel Panorama Kastelruth

Destination of the tour

Rosszähnescharte

Route description

From here, a farm track leads to the Hotel Panorama and on over hollows and valleys to the Mahlknechthütte. After crossing a stream bed, circular hikers walk to the Sciliar hut and on to the Tierser Alpl hut.
Here, mountaineers take path no. 2 and reach the Rosszahnscharte, which offers great views. From there, you can admire the legendary rocky peaks and enjoy the view of the Seiser Alm. The way back starts at the Rosszahnscharte and leads along serpentines back to gentle alpine meadows and the starting point of the tour in Compatsch (trail no. 2) near Kastelruth.
