Family circular hike from Hotel Moseralm to the Frin meadows and Ochsenhütte
This simple circular hike combines impressive scenery to enjoy and reflect with a cozy stop at a traditional alpine hut. The route starts at Moseralm. After a short, gentle ascent on a forest road, you reach the extensive Frin meadows, which delight with their magnificent view of the Latemar, Rosengarten, and Schlern. Depending on the season, the meadows appear in full bloom, lush summer green, or autumnal variety of colors. Along the route, you pass the Ochsenhütte, which invites hikers to a well-deserved rest with regional specialties. The return path runs along an idyllic forest trail.
