Seiser Alm

Tour to the Grasleitenhütte and the Schlernhaus mountain huts

Difficult

This route leads through towering rocks in the heart of the Dolomite Mountains which, due to their unique attributes, have been listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site since 2009. Along the route you will find three magnificent mountain huts to relax from the challenges of the hike. Views over the nearby peaks of the “Pale Mountains” make this tour an unforgettable highlight. 

The set-off point is Weißlahnbad. Bus 176 will bring you to Tiers and then the bus 185 to St. Zyprian and from there you can hike to Weißlahnbad in half an hour. Alternatively, you can drive here. Parking facilities are available at the Visitor’s centre Tiers am Rosengarten in Weißlahnbad.
