A mountaineer's heart pounds in South Tyrol! Those looking for a challenge have come to the right place in the Dolomites and the mountain ranges in Vinschgau, Eisacktal and Pustertal. The region's distinctive jagged rocks are of unique beauty. Anyone who has already circumnavigated the mighty Three Peaks will not forget this sight so quickly. The legendary rose garden, the opposite Latemar and the Schlern have attracted mountaineers and climbers from all over the world since the early 20th century.

The peaks of the Jakobspitze and the Tagewaldhorn lie in the middle of the Sarntal Alps. The landscape is extremely unspoilt and wild. The mountain tour to both peaks offers all the attributes of an impressive mountain experience. The summit ascent over the ridge to the Jakobspitze and the descent to the Flaggerschartenhütte (formerly Marburger Hütte) require surefootedness and a head for heights. The ascent to the Tagewaldhorn is somewhat strenuous and steep in the last section. The small and very cosy Flaggerschartenhütte is an ideal base and invites you to take a longer break.

A good 1100 metres of ascent to the Riepenscharte and around 120 metres of descent to the hut take us through different worlds in around 4 hours. At the bottom the forest and the lovely greenery, at the top we reach a rocky desert with marvellous views. That's about 4 hours of mountain hiking in two national parks, which is well worth it.

Long and steep circular tour to a fantastic panoramic mountain high above the South Tyrolean lowlands. The narrow paths and the short via ferrata make the tour a challenging undertaking at a relatively low altitude and therefore accessible at an early stage.
