The component localities of Castelrotto and Fiè allo Sciliar are located at the foot of Europe’s largest alpine pasture, which is also a hiking and winter sport paradise.
The Alpe di Siusi is an excellent destination in the winter as well as in the summer. As the most extensive alpine pasture in Europe, it attracts nature lovers and athletes. Those who wish to remain active during their vacation can choose from many activities such as skiing, hiking, cross-country skiing, sledging or even taking a coach through the beautiful winter wonderland.
It is Europe‘s largest high-altitude alpine pasture, the Alpe di Siusi. We have looked at its snow-covered mountain peaks from a bird‘s eye view. The panorama is amazing and the landscape is one of the most beautiful of the whole Dolomites.
Our winter hike today takes us up onto the Bullaccia mountain pasture which can be found at 2.176 asl. Some of the most impressive vantage points of the Sciliar mountain range can be found at Belluccia. In winter this is a great place for an excursion for everyone seeking to find the tranquillity and peacefulness of the mountains.
Our hike today starts by stepping out of the Spitzbühel chairlift, high up on the Alpe di Siusi pasture, where we march right up to the highest point on Mount Petz.
Today we are going to walk on the “Hexenquellen” barefoot and adventure trail on the Alpe di Siusi pasture. It is a nature trail, which focuses on the senses and is enriched by natural material artworks.
Right in the middle of the Dolomites, Europe‘s largest alpine pasture, the Alpe di Siusi can be found and not too far away the picturesque village of Siusi is just waiting to be discovered. Surrounded by rolling meadows, mighty forests, sky scraping peaks and mysterious ruins, this mountain village is a must-see for visitors.
From Fiè and Siusi allo Sciliar you can best admire the symbol of South Tyrol, which is the Sciliar. Around the impressive mountain sprawls the Sciliar-Catinaccio Nature Park. At the foot of the mighty Catinaccio in the South Tyrolean Dolomites, however, lies the beautiful Tires valley.
