Through the snowy winter landscape along the Ridgeway of Steinegg with views of the mountains Rosengarten and Schlern

On this wintry hike along a section of the Steinegg Ridgeway, you will pass through forests to beautiful viewpoints with fantastic views of the Rosengarten and Schlern mountains. After about half of the circular hike, you come to the Oberölgart alpine hut - a nice place to stop for a bite to eat and drink, even in winter. Via a tarred road with very little traffic, you come to a very idyllic chapel in the middle of the forest, the ‘Kaserer Bild’ chapel. Continue along the tarred road through the woods to the starting point.

Inform yourself in advance about the opening hours and closing days of the Oberölgart alpine hut in winter.

Directions

The winter hike starts at the car park in the sports zone of Steinegg|Collepietra- between Steinegg|Collepietra and Gummer|San Valentino in Campo. From here, follow the ‘yellow shoe’ markings (Steinegg Ridgeway), but always stay on the tarred road. At the Soluck car park, turn right onto the forest road and continue to follow the "yellow shoe". From a certain point, the hiking trail [6] runs parallel to the Steinegg Ridgeway. Follow this until you reach the Oberölgart Alpine hut (1,201 m). From here, follow the hiking trail [4] along the road to the ‘Kaserer Bild’ chapel and continue to the Soluck car park. From here, take the tarred road back to the starting point - the last section is the same as at the start of the tour.
