Classic Dolorama Weg

The first stage of the hike starts at the Zumis parking lot. You can take the bus from Rodeneck, or park your car at the paid parking lot near the starting point.

Through the Schöpfungsweg you walk to the Roner Alm. Once here, follow path no. 2 in a southeasterly direction until you reach the Rastner- or Starkenfeldhütte. This is a good time to take your first break since you have completed the first 6 kilometers. After the Starkenfeldhütte, continue your way to the Steiner Alm, a short hike of about 1.5 kilometers. Continue your hike toward Campill and take a moment here to take in the panorama of both the Austrian and South Tyrolean Alps. Continue walking for 3 kilometers and approach the chapel of the Jakobsstöckl. After another 3 kilometers you will reach the Glittner See, or Lago di Rina. The next part of the hike takes you to the Furc de Lijun pass. From here you can count down, because if you follow trail 1, it's only 2.5 kilometers to the Maurerberghütte (2,157m).

Today marks the third leg of your hiking adventure, starting from the Maurerberghütte. Today's hike starts on trail 1 and takes you south to the Würzjoch, the moment you hike into the UNESCO World Heritage Dolomites! This hike is about 3.5 kilometers. Here you continue your way on trail 8A, which, by the way, quickly turns into 8B. During this hike you will walk along the Peitlerkofel at the foot of the Geisler group: that means beautiful views!

After 4.5 kilometers you'll arrive at Göma-Joch at an altitude of 2,100 meters. Follow trail 35 to the west, passing the Heiligkreuzkofel massif along the way. After a 5.5-kilometer hike, you'll reach today's destination: the Schlütterhütte or, in Italian, Rifugio Genova (2,300m).

Tip: Be sure to celebrate the end of the stage at Rifugio Genova with their delicious home-made “Almheu – fieno d’alpeggio” schnaps!
