ON THE RIDGE
OF GIOGO DI PIETRAMALA
ALONG THE BREEZY RIDGE
The hike begins at the mountain station of the Ropeway Merano 2000, from where the panoramic cabins of the Naifjoch Cableway carry passengers in comfort to the Waidmann Alpine Cottage with its magnificent views. From there the trip continues either on foot or via the Mittager Chairlift to the Mittager Alpine Hut. The sun-kissed terrace with views of the Dolomites is a great place to stop for a while – after which especially keen hikers can continue on their way to the Windspitz.
From the Windspitze, the route continues along the ridge of the Sarntal Alps back to Giogo di Pietramala at 2,128 metres. Once here, there is time to stop to reflect and enjoy the view before beginning the return journey via the Waidmann Alpine Cottage to the starting point at the Merano 2000 Ropeway.
! Tip: With the Summer-Day-Ticket you can combine a round trip with any open lift for a reduced price.

FROM THE MID-WAY STATION
TO MASO GSTEIER
Ride the ropeway to its mid-way station, a fascinating architectural feat, take a short walk downhill crossing the steep pastures of the Maso Gsteier inn and treat yourself to some of their famous home-cooked delicacies. From there, you can hike to scenic Scena, uphill to the mountain station of the ropeway or simply back down to the valley station.
