Description Turn-by-turn directions How to get there

Varied circular hike from Frommer Alm hut to the two viewpoints Kaiserstein and Frin meadows.

This varied circular hike in the village of Karersee | Carezza runs beneath the majestic Rosengarten | Catinaccio and offers a mix of forest roads, gentle woodland trails, and alpine meadows. A special highlight of the tour is the "Kaiserstein" - a unique viewpoint offering stunning views of the striking peak Rotwand | Roda di Vael. Equally rewarding are the Frin meadows, beautifully nestled in an impressive 360° mountain panorama.
