From the Seiseralm over the Schlern to St. Zyprian

Starting point: Seiseralm/Alpe di Siusi - Dolomites
Route: Take the bus to Seis (25 minute journey), and then the cable car up to the highest alpine meadow in Europe, (1855m). From here you walk over beautiful meadows to the "Saltner" hut (1830m). Here begins the ascent over the tourist path to the Schlern high plateau and to the Schlern huts (2450m). Take a mid-day rest in the historical protection house. In good weather we recommend an excursion to the Monte Pez, the highest point at 2580m. The view reaches from the "Rosengarten" and the central and eastern groups of the Dolomites to the glacier mountains. The descent leads you across the high plateau and the valley Thomes to the "Tschaftschsattel" (2020m). Here begins a steep but very beautiful descent trough the "Bärenfalle" (bear trap) to the Tschamin hut and to the Cyprianerhof (1175m).
