Where to eat: Naturno Alpine Pasture (sunny terrace with alpine specialties), Zetn Alm (renowned for homemade alpine cheese and rustic charm), Mausloch Alm (traditional South Tyrolean cuisine)

Course: Kreuzbrunn Parking (Start) ➔ Trail No. 30 ➔ Naturno Alpine Pasture (➔ optional viewpoint) ➔ Zetn Alm ➔ Mausloch Alm ➔ Forest road ➔ Kreuzbrunn Parking (Destination)

This circular hike on the shady Monte Tramontana takes you high up into the idyllic alpine pasture area of Naturno. Walking along scenic mountain paths, you will hike from pasture to pasture and enjoy hearty South Tyrolean specialties. From the Kreuzbrunn parking lot (accessible via the Monte Tramontana road), start your hike on trail No. 30. The path leads you comfortably through the dense mountain forest up to the picturesquely situated Naturno Alpine Pasture (Naturnser Alm, 1,910 m). After a well-deserved rest, panorama lovers can optionally ascend via the somewhat steep but short trail No. 9 A towards Val d'Ultimo – the fantastic panoramic view reaching as far as the Dolomites is worth every effort. From the viewpoint or the Naturno Alpine Pasture, hike down on trail "A" (branching off to the left) to the rustic Zetn Alm (1,747 m). From here, the path continues to the cozy Mausloch Alm (1,835 m). After a final stop for refreshments, follow the forest road relaxed back to the Kreuzbrunn parking lot.
