Nem

The working Liegalm Alpine farm can be reached via two different trails, offering both families and serious hikers a day full of adventure.

Take highway's exit “Bolzano Nord/Eggental”, turn right direction Bolzano/Bozen, after about 0,5 km on roundabout keep left and head towards Val d’Ega (SS 241). Keep driving up to Ponte Nova. At Ponte Nova’s crossroads, turn to the right and continue to Nova Ponente (about 30 min. from highway toll booth).

For more experienced hikers, the hike begins near the Schwarzenbach and the Ganischgerhof hotels. Follow the markers along trail [9A] to the Bayerlsäge sawmill, where trail [9] leads to the Liegalm Alpine farm (1,750 m), which is managed and offers delicious local specialities. The return route is also via trail [9], which leads back to the car park. For families, the hike begins at the Lavazé Pass and trail [9] takes you straight to the Liegalm Alpine farm in one hour. The return trip is also via trail [9] to the Lavazé Pass. This hike is particularly well suited to children and families. The Alpine farm has a small petting zoo and a nice play area for children.
