This summit hike is a true highlight for those who love raw mountain nature and sweeping alpine views. Starting from Jochgrimm, the trail climbs gently through wide meadows before transitioning into more rugged terrain as it leads toward the summit. The higher you go, the more spectacular the view becomes – stretching across the Rosengarten, Latemar, Brenta Group and, on clear days, even to the Sexten Dolomites.
The final section over rocky ground requires a bit of sure-footedness, but the reward at the top is worth every step: a breathtaking 360° panorama and a deep sense of peace await at the summit cross.
Perfect for hikers who seek a combination of movement, scenery, and the quiet majesty of the high mountains.
This scenic hike begins at the Jochgrimm parking area (approx. 1,989 m), located between the Schwarzhorn and Weißhorn peaks. Follow the well-marked Trail [H], which starts across gentle alpine meadows.
After about 30 minutes, the trail gradually climbs through pine-covered slopes and rocky areas, some with wooden steps and stone paving. As you ascend, the views expand toward the Rosengarten, Latemar, the Adige Valley, and surrounding Dolomites.
Shortly before reaching the summit, the trail enters rocky terrain. A brief section with a steel safety cable requires sure-footedness, but it’s manageable for most hikers. After roughly 1.5 hours, you reach the summit cross of Weißhorn (2,313 m), offering breathtaking 360° panoramic views.
The descent follows the same Trail [H] back to Jochgrimm.
