Descent into the Altfasstal valley

Mastering the altitude difference with the mountain railway

For this hike you walk to the mountain railway Gitschberg, where you buy a day ticket for hikers. Then take the cable car to the middle station, where you take the Gaisjochbahn in the direction of Vals/Valles. Get off at the Tanne (the mountain station of the Gaisjochbahn) and take the winter hiking trail that leads you to the Altfasstal valley. There you have the opportunity to stop at the Großberghütte. For the way back you hike through the Altfasstal back to Meransen/Maranza and your luxury holiday home Panorama Living Dolomites.

Our tip: To make the most of the day ticket for hikers, take the cable car to the mountain station of the Gitschberg, where the hut Nesselhütte is just a few steps away. There you can sit in the sun and enjoy the fabulous panorama.
