This high-altitude hike is only 3 km each way and follows easy paths with minimal elevation gain, making it ideal for everyone to enjoy relaxing moments amidst blooming meadows and coniferous forests. In Pampeago di Tesero we take the Latemar Chairlift to Malga Ganischger. From there, we follow the flat path to Passo di Pampeago, where the installation "Eye on the Dolomites", part of the theme paths "Latemarium" is situated. Soon after, we take path no. 23 branching off to the right towards "Mayrl Alm".
The forest path arrives at Malga Mayrl and proceeds slightly uphill to Rifugio Oberholz, the destination of our walk. Oberholz is far from being just an architectural gem: in fact, it reinterprets traditional alpine forms and natural materials. Its wide panoramic windows, give you a feeling of immersion in the alpine landscape. Furthermore, the restaurant offers delicious dishes, from starters to desserts. We take the same path back to our starting point.
