Hiking in Tesido/Taisten and environs

When you go hiking in the Dolomites, do not just hike: soak in the views, savour the moment to the fullest!
Right on the doorstep of the Hotel Alpen Tesitin, a faceted natural landscape extends, with a network of paths leading you towards emerald meadows and pale gray peaks – magical places under an unblemished blue sky. Every day, our reception staff recommend great hikes in the surroundings, while our guides will be taking you to the most beautiful tours in the Dolomites or in the Gsieser mountains. Destinations include the Monte Luta/Lutterkopf and Monte Salomone/Durakopf or the Tesido/Taistner Alm (ideal for families), as well as the route that from the Prato Piazza/Plätzwiese leads to the Monte Specie/Strudelkopf overlooking the Three Peaks. The hike along the Almweg 2000 offers glimpses of the original natural landscape and leads you to quaint mountain huts, where traditional South Tyrolean specialties are served. An insider tip for snapshot hunters: from the panoramic path in Monguelfo/Welsberg, you can enjoy a fantastic view of the UNESCO World Heritage. And if you like to combine action and relaxation, the Kneipp route of the "Rudlbach pyramids” which starts in Tesido/Taisten is your best choice.

The steep rock faces of the Pale Mountains offer the experienced climber plenty of fingertip-skinning holds as well as a variety of via ferratas: Val Landro/Höhlensteintal, Croda Rossa di Sesto/Sextner Rotwand, Braies/Pragser valley… have your pick! There is opportunities galore also for beginners, from climbing classes to the indoor climbing- and bouldering facilities in Brunico/Bruneck, Dobbiaco/Toblach and Sesto/Sexten. The high ropes in Issengo/Issing by Falzes/Pfalzen and in Dobbiaco/Toblach are also worth a visit!
