2-day tour crossing Sciliar Mountain with overnight stay
Day 1:
Sciliar Mountain is one of the symbols of South Tyrol. Due to the characteristic shape, this mountain can easily be distinguished from the others. At the top there is a broad summit plateau from where you can admire the giant high-alpine plateau of Alpe di Siusi to the north. There are several ascent routes. We start from Alpe di Siusi. Above the road we take the trail to Fiè and Fiè Lake, we continue to Tuff pasture and to the turn off to Hofer Alpl. And now the truly panoramic section starts: A trail with square-edged larch posts has been realised in a gorge. Past Sesselschwaige and over the alpine pastures to Schlernhaus where we will stay for the night. From here you can hike up to the summit in about 20 minutes on a rocky, but easy trail.
