This high-altitude hike leading across blooming meadows and coniferous forests is only 3 km each way. The easy paths with minimal elevation gain are suitable for everyone. In Pampeago di Tesero we take the Latemar chairlift to malga Ganischger. From there, we take the flat path to passo Pampeago where we admire the artwork "Eye on the Dolomites" which is part of the "Latemarium" theme paths. Then, we take path no. 23 to the "Mayrl Alm".
After the Mayrl Alm the path leads slightly uphill to rifugio Oberholz, the final destination of our hike. This mountain hut is both an architectural masterpiece and a reinterpretation of natural and traditional alpine forms and materials. Thanks to the huge panoramic windows, visitors are part of the alpine landscape. The restaurant serves exquisite regional dishes. We retrace our steps back to the starting point.
