Fantastic but demanding tour with a magnificent panorama and flowing, partly challenging trails high above the Val Gardena valley.

The tour offers a partly steep 1600 hm, of which the first 850 hm can alternatively be avoided by using the Raschötz funicular. The efforts of the ascent are rewarded with brilliant, flowing trails. The following cable car ascent allows us to enjoy further flowing descents on trails and gravel paths down via Selva Gardena to Ortisei. In particular, the last trail section to the cable car mid-station and the first section after the mountain station are quite demanding. In terms of scenery, the round tour with its magnificent views of the Geißler Group and the Seceda Range can hardly be topped. A very good level of fitness and a certain amount of trail experience are a great advantage.

Seceda cable car valley station in Ortisei
Turn-by-turn directions
From the valley station of the Seceda cable car, we first head flat uphill into the Annatal valley before the steep ascent to the Raschötzhütte (2170 m) begins. After a detour to the Heiligkreuz Chapel, we take trail no. 35 over towards the Saltner Hut and continue on a cart track to the Brogleshütte (2045 m). Here we have a magnificent view of the surrounding mountain ranges. Continue on trail no. 5 down to the middle station of the Seceda cable car (1736 m). After the cable car ascent, we first follow a trail in the direction of the Panascharte, but then keep straight on until we reach the Pieralongia Hut. We now ride over cart tracks to the Odleshütte and continue on a trail to the Regensburger Hütte (2286 m). Then we continue on gravel paths to the Juac hut (1905 m) and on trails and cart tracks to the Wolkenstein ruin (1723 m). On asphalt we now roll down to Wolkenstein and continue on the cycle path to S. Cristina. From here we cycle uphill again in the direction of St. Jakob's Church until the end of the asphalt road. Passing the church, we finally return to Ortisei on trail no. 6.
Restaurants are available at the Raschötzhütte, the Saltnerhütte, the Brogleshütte, the Regensburger Hütte and the Juac Hütte.
