tiate since it is held in place by fixed wire-cables. Later, after an almost flat<br />

section, the path turns towards the east and crosses a green area on the<br />

Púezalpe (“Munt de Pùez”) and after a second serpentine, turns again<br />

towards the east in order to reach Pùez mountain hut, 2,475m.<br />

6 hours from the Schlüter mountain hut.<br />

The Pùez mountain hut lies in a large remote green crater with bright rocks,<br />

which look like small islands. These make the landscape appear wild and<br />

mysterious. This area is geologically extremely rich.<br />

The mountain hut belongs to the Bozen Division of the Italian Alpine Club.<br />

It was built in 1889 and renovated in 1986. It offers 94 beds; a power unit<br />

provides electricity and hot water, shower and meals are also available. Open<br />

from 1st July until 30th September. Refuge in winter with 20 dormitory places.<br />

Alternative Route 2<br />

From the Schlüter mountain hut to Puèz mountain<br />

hut via the Geisler way delle Odle<br />

The alternative route described here is easier and simpler to follow<br />

than the previously described route and therefore suitable for less<br />

experienced hiker or for walkers, who do not want to undertake an<br />

exhausting trip. It does however take around 9 hours, a whole dais<br />

walking, and this must be taken into account when planning your holiday.<br />

The reasons for choosing this route are numerous: the particular<br />

beauty of the trail, its large panorama or simply because the gully of the<br />

Roascharte is too difficult to cross due to the frozen snow and ice.<br />

From the Schlüter mountain hut, follow path No. 35 towards the west<br />

(or south on the cart path which is longer) then climb upwards (towards<br />

the southwest) to Gampenalm at 2,062m. From here, follow the forest<br />

road and the marking No. 35 (always heading southwest). You are now<br />

on the famous “Geisler Weg”, which is also known as “Adolf Munkel<br />

Weg” after its creator.<br />

The path continues gently up and down and leads to the foot of the<br />

Roa-Scharte (col)<br />

north face along the Geisler peaks, partially through woods, partially<br />

over alpine pastures and brings you to the Brogles alpine hut at 2,045m.<br />

From here one can admire the stunning panoramic views.<br />

Approx. 3 hours from the Schlüter mountain hut.<br />

The Brogles alpine hut is a private property situated on a charming dip in<br />

the land with a view of the Geisler peaks. The building has two floors and offers<br />

running water inside the hut. It has 37 beds and is open from 20th June until<br />

the beginning of October. Refuge in winter with 4 dormitory places; Tel. +39<br />

0471 655642.<br />

A short walk is recommended for hikers with a particular interest in geology.<br />

Hike up to the Broglesscharte (col at 2,119m) for about 10 to 15 minutes - here<br />

the north face of the Secëda offers an insight into the Dolomites’ structure.<br />

From Brogles, head south along path No. 6 and, staying on this<br />

trail, climb over a rock secured with ropes. At the junction, climb up<br />

the gully through the rocks to the Panascharte (col at 2,450m). Your<br />

gaze will be drawn to the green area on the Ncìsles on the Sella range<br />

and on the Langkofel (Sasslonch).<br />

From the Panascharte take path No. 2b (towards the south) and<br />

then, after a few minutes, cross onto path no. 1 that leads downhill<br />
