Hiking in Castelrotto Your hiking vacation on the Alpe di Siusi

The symbol of South Tyrol offers not only an impressive sight, but also a perfect destination for an extensive mountain hike: From the Alpe di Siusi you first hike to the lodge Saltnerhütte, which lies at the foot of the Sciliar Massif. From there, continue along the panoramic “Tourist Trail” towards the Sciliar House, where you may take a break and indulge in culinary delicacies. If you still have enough strength in your legs, you may tackle the approx. 20-minute ascent to the peak Pez, the highest point of the Sciliar plateau. There you will find a summit cross and an unforgettable view of the Sella Group as well as the Sasso Lungo and the Sasso Piatto.

From Saltria in the Castelrotto borough Alpe di Siusi take the chairlift “Florian” to the lodge Williamshütte. First head for the lodge Murmeltierhütte, before you walk along the Sasso Piatto until you reach the turnoff to the lodge Langkofelhütte. Continue towards the lodge Comici and across the Ciaulong Saddle, where you may admire a beautiful panorama of the surrounding mountains. The hike will then take you right under the Sasso Lungo to the cliff Sass Fendu, where you will descend to Monte Pana.

This tour takes a good 5 hours (17 kilometres).
