This challenging segment leads from the alpine village of Altrei to the famed Pinot Noir village of Montan – from 1,200 meters down to 500 meters above sea-level. From Altrei, the route continues uphill via the Ziss Saddle all the way to the Horn-Alm (managed) with a wonderful view, at an altitude of more than 1,700 meters above sea-level – the highest point of this segment. From here, the trail is almost totally downhill. The next segment will take you to the Hackelboden forest hut (not managed!) and on to the hamlet of Gsteig (option for food/drink and overnight lodgings). You will then pass by the roaring Glen Waterfall via the former Fleims Valley railroad and on to Montan.

Helpful hint for this route: Take the little side-trip from Gsteig to the impressive "Kanzel" looming high above the Unterland district. You'll be rewarded with a fantastic view!

Author’s recommendation

Take the short detour to the Kanzel viewpoint above Gsteig for one of the finest panoramic views over South Tyrol's Lowlands.
