The easy hike from the Hotel Moseralm at the foot of the Catinaccio massif leads to the picturesque Frinwiesen meadows with an impressive 360-degree mountain backdrop.

This easy circular hike combines breathtaking scenery for moments of enjoyment and reflection with a cozy stop at a traditional alpine hut.
The tour starts at the hotel Moseralm. After a short and gentle ascent along a forest road, you reach the wide-open Frin meadows, offering magnificent views of the Latemar, Rosengarten | Catinaccio, and Schlern | Sciliar mountains. Depending on the season, the meadows shine in vibrant blossoms, lush summer green, or a colorful autumn palette. Further along the route, you’ll pass the Ochsenhütte hut, where hikers are warmly welcomed with regional specialties for a well-deserved break. The return path leads through an idyllic forest trail.
