Starting from the idyllic sanctuary of Maria Weißenstein, this leisurely snowshoe hike takes you into the pristine winter landscape of the South Tyrolean Dolomites. The route initially leads through quiet, snow-covered high forests, whose mighty spruces and larches are cloaked in a white mantle. As you take deep breaths of the clear mountain air, all you can hear is the gentle crunching of snowshoes underfoot.
From the Weißenstein parking lot, hike along the E5 to the Pichlwiese meadow and continue on trail [2A] through the Köser Valley (Kösertal) to the Neuhütt alpine hut (refreshment stop). Trail [2] then leads to the Petersberger Leger, another managed alpine pasture. From there, follow the marked hiking trail all the way back to Maria Weißenstein.
