This hike leads to one of the most beautiful high plateaus in South Tyrol in the heart of the Fanes-Sennes-Braies nature park, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Plätzwiese high plateau fascinates with an overwhelming view of the surrounding mountains of the Dolomites. Dominating everything is the northernmost 3000 metre peak in the Dolomites - the Hohe Gaisl (3146m).

Please note: Due to the temperature fluctuations, there may be icy patches on the trails and we therefore recommend the use of crampons!

Directions
From the starting point, follow trail no. 37 towards Plätzwiese high plateau. Always follow the markings to the right on the prepared path in the direction of Hohe Gaisl peak, slightly uphill through the beautiful Stolla valley to the Stolla hut of the same name, which is still traditionally managed as an alpine hut in summer and is also a popular excursion destination (1747m, closed in winter). From there, the trail climbs steeply for a short while before soon reaching the open and sunny Plätzwiese high plateau. Once at the top, a unique panorama opens up and the mountain huts invite you to linger.
