A wonderful hike at the Gampen Pass to the panoramic summit of Schönegg, offering magnificent views over the Adige Valley and the Dolomites.
Hike along the Mendel Ridge - MONTE MACAION (1,774 m)
Magnificent views of the Etsch Valley
We travel by coach via Lana and the Gampen Pass to St. Felix in the Non Valley. The hike starts just above St. Felix at the "Lochmann" bridge and leads (including short, stony sections uphill) across the "Tillwiesen" meadows to the scenic summit of Schönegg (1,774 m). From there, you can enjoy stunning views of the Etsch Valley as far as Bozen and the Dolomites, a UNESCO World Heritage site.
After a break at the summit, we hike down to the idyllic mountain lake Lake Tret (Felixer Weiher). Following a lunch break with the option to stop at a mountain hut, the descent takes us along a forest path through woods and meadows back to the starting point, where the bus will be waiting for the return journey.
Hiking boots, sun protection and rain gear, clothing suitable for the season and the hike, drinks and some snacks.
