Mountain Passion: “Hochkreuz” & Aperitivo in the Uwaldalm Hut

We start from the Talschlusshütte and hike along the Pidigtal, past the Oberberg Alm, up to the source of the Gsieser Bach river on the Gsieser Törl, along the border with Austria. Passing the old customs barracks, we continue steeply uphill to today's destination: the Hochkreuzspitze (2,739m).

From here you can absorb breath-taking and magical panoramic views:

Of South Tyrol's highest mountain – the “Ortler”, right up to Austria's highest peak – the “Großglockner” and across to the “Three Peaks” and much more.

After a little rest we walk down to the Uwaldalm-Hut where a well-deserved alpine Aperitivo awaits us.

Walking time: ca. 6 hours

Ca. 1.200 altitude difference

Difficulty: demanding mountain tour

SURE-FOOTEDNESS & A HEAD FOR HEIGHTS REQUIRED!
