Hiking
Ask any of the locals, and they might let you in on their favourite insider tip: a lovely, historical trail which crosses forests and meadows. Get ready for a beautiful walk and a somewhat mystical experience. The delightful scent of flowers and mesmerising birdsong will accompany you for 5 km as you explore the lush, untouched nature: the dappled sunlight washes over the moss-covered forest, creating a pleasant ambience and tableau to be admired.

Trail Reviews
For our start here in Ortisei at 1,400 meters above sea level, we chose this relaxed postal trail through the rustic forests. Ideal for acclimatization.
The old postal trail leads from St. Ulrich to St. Peter. A beautiful but challenging hike that requires surefootedness. Wonderful views in all directions. From St. Peter take the bus back to St. Ulrich. 431 meters in altitude.
