A round under the Schlern walls

There are several signposts in a small hollow next to the pond. First follow the marker 1 »Tuffalm« and you will come to the upper pond. Shortly above, the paths fork and again signposts indicate the direction. The wide path on the left is marked »Tuffalm bequem« – and why shouldn't you be comfortable! You follow this path and reach the indicated alp in three quarters of an hour. Some greyed board walls along and beside the path indicate that a toboggan run runs here in winter. From the Tuffalm you descend a few metres into a hollow, where there is another signpost, this time with the indication »Hofer Alpl« and again the marking 1, which leads up to the Schlern.
