The Circular hiking trail Lorggen begins at the top station of the Plose cable car and leads from the WoodyWalk along scenic panoramic trails into quiet, ancient forests—accompanied by mythical guardians and sweeping views of the Dolomites. The Pfannspitz lift takes you effortlessly up to 2,545 metres, where an impressive mountain panorama unfolds around the Odle peaks. Continuing along the ridge to the Plose Hut and back to the starting point, this family-friendly circular walk combines nature, wide-open views and a gentle sense of adventure.
