HIKING IN THE VAL Casies Valley
Those who go hiking in the Val Casies Valley get closer to nature with every step. Whoever hikes up to the Malga di Tesido-Taistner Alm and to the rocky peak of the Roda di Scandole-Rudlhorn is rewarded with a view of dizzying beauty of the valley below and the other mountains. Little hikers can also make it to the first meadow of the Malga di Tesido. This is where the Tyrolean Knödel dumplings are steaming and the smell of the Krapfen fritters wafts far in advance, making it pretty much impossible for any hiker to pass by without stopping. The Almweg 2000 trail connects together several of the Alpine meadow inns of the valley that are operated with passion, also offering fabulous views both up and down the valley.
