This easy walking tour can be recommended during all seasons of the year. Along a nice forest path we have to manage about 6.5 km (each direction) and 550 metres in altitude. It proceeds through beautiful forests and larch meadows and offers also a visit to the Rif. Anratter mountain hut at 1,815 m asl.

It’s October and the larches are already yellowing. Our starting point is the parking space at the Wetterkreuz cross just above Spinga. From here we always follow the path no. 9, a forest road which proceeds straight to the Rif. Anratter mountain hut. We walk steadily uphill, from 1,350 m asl. up to 1,830 m asl. and can study the change of the vegetation.

The Rif. Anratter is among the most popular mountain huts of South Tyrol and awaits us with South Tyrolean delicacies. After a rewarded break we start our way back again, along the same route.
