It is a precious habitat, home to both people and wildlife – a place where we can breathe deeply and reconnect with ourselves. And it is exactly this space we want to protect. How, you might ask?
Snowshoe hike from Gasserhütte via Mair in Plun and Gasteig Saddle to Rittner Horn, with beautiful views across the winter landscape
The Villandro Alpine Pasture, high above the Isarco Valley and the Brenner motorway, is one of South Tyrol’s lesser-known winter sports areas. This is probably because there are no lifts here—only cross-country ski trails and winter hiking paths.
Leave the highway at Klausen/Chiusa and take the first exit at the first roundabout. At the next roundabout, take the second exit and follow the road for about 2 km. Then turn right towards Villanders and continue to the village centre. At the Despar supermarket, turn right towards Villanderer Alm and follow the road to the Saltnerstein car park near the Gasser Hütte.
Where to park
- Saltnerstein car park – Gasser Hut (fee required) - Kaser car park (fee required) - Start of the family hiking trail (free)
