Its name dates back to the 18th century, so we can say that the Dolomieu Path is a "historical" route. The trail, also known as the 6 mountain pastures trail, starts at Rosskopf/Monte Cavallo near Sterzing/Vipiteno and leads through six beautiful mountain pastures that invite you to take a pleasant break. And remember to try the grey cheese, a speciality of the area! After the break you continue on your way admiring the wonderful morphology, nature, flora and fauna of the Sterzing/Vipiteno hiking area. There are many things to discover in the Pflerschtal/Val di Fleres. The exact route leads from the top station of the Rosskopf/Monte Cavallo cable car on the left to the Kuhalm hut and the Ochsenalm hut below the Telfer Weissen/Cime Bianche di Telves (2588 m). From here you return and pass the "Kastellacke" biotope to the "Vallminger Almen" pastures. The trail continues towards Ladurns, from where there is a magnificent view of the Weißwandspitze/Parete Bianca and the Tribulaun Massif. From the Ladurnerhütte hut, the trail winds its way through a cool forest in serpentine fashion towards the Allrissalm hut and on to the Furtalm hut in the Pflerer Talschluss/Alta Val di Fleres. The path and the length of the hike can be chosen as required. The route can be shortened using the ski lifts.
