Pleasant winter hike suitable for pushchairs to the first observatory in South Tyrol
Our destination is the beautiful spot at the observatory in Obergummer| San Valentino di Sopra with a fantastic view of the Dolomite formation Latemar and a unique panoramic view. Starting from the Schenken car park or the Lantschnay bus stop, the pram-friendly path leads along a tarred road with light traffic via the hiking trail [5A] to the observatory. You can stop off at the lovely Unteregger farm inn in Obergummer|San Valentino di Sopra.

Find out in advance about the opening hours and closing days of the Unteregger farm inn in winter.
