Most of it lies in the Puez-Geis­ler Natu­re Park of the same name. The trail now leads down into the 25 km long side val­ley of the Isar­co Val­ley with its muni­ci­pa­li­ties of Ortis­ei, S.

Tour rating

Moun­tain giants up close
? Tours were appro­pria­te for our level and fit­ness, the rou­tes were very beau­tiful and easy to find thanks to pre­cise direc­tions and pos­si­ble GPS use in the app. The accom­mo­da­ti­on was all very nice, the rooms were gene­ral­ly also very lar­ge and the­re was not­hing wrong with the food. On the who­le and on the who­le we were very satis­fied, apart from a few small things such as a short, very rai­ny sec­tion of the rou­te on day 2 with a very slip­pery sur­face, whe­re we would have lik­ed an alter­na­ti­ve bad wea­ther route.
