Across the Latemar meadows to the Latemar cinema and further on to the Poppekanzel – a challenging route, but with breathtaking views over the legendary Dolomite landscape.

Across the beautiful Latemar meadows, you reach the Latemar cinema, which – true to its name – already offers stunning panoramic views of the Rosengarten | Catinaccio. The following steep ascent to the Poppekanzel | Pulpito peak might be a bit of a challenge, but the spectacular view at the top rewards every effort. From here, your gaze stretches far across the majestic Pala group, the striking Sella massif, the mighty Marmolada, the iconic Langkofel | Sassolungo, the Ortler | Ortles, the Ötztal Alps, and many other impressive peaks of the Dolomites.
