tiate since it is held in place by fixed wire-cables. Later, after an almost flat
section, the path turns towards the east and crosses a green area on the
Púezalpe (“Munt de Pùez”) and after a second serpentine, turns again
towards the east in order to reach Pùez mountain hut, 2,475m.
6 hours from the Schlüter mountain hut.
The Pùez mountain hut lies in a large remote green crater with bright rocks,
which look like small islands. These make the landscape appear wild and
mysterious. This area is geologically extremely rich.
The mountain hut belongs to the Bozen Division of the Italian Alpine Club.
It was built in 1889 and renovated in 1986. It offers 94 beds; a power unit
provides electricity and hot water, shower and meals are also available. Open
from 1st July until 30th September. Refuge in winter with 20 dormitory places.

Alternative Route 2
From the Schlüter mountain hut to Puèz mountain
hut via the Geisler way delle Odle
The alternative route described here is easier and simpler to follow
than the previously described route and therefore suitable for less
experienced hiker or for walkers, who do not want to undertake an
exhausting trip. It does however take around 9 hours, a whole dais
walking, and this must be taken into account when planning your holiday.
The reasons for choosing this route are numerous: the particular
beauty of the trail, its large panorama or simply because the gully of the
Roascharte is too difficult to cross due to the frozen snow and ice.
From the Schlüter mountain hut, follow path No. 35 towards the west
(or south on the cart path which is longer) then climb upwards (towards
the southwest) to Gampenalm at 2,062m. From here, follow the forest
road and the marking No. 35 (always heading southwest). You are now
on the famous “Geisler Weg”, which is also known as “Adolf Munkel
Weg” after its creator.
The path continues gently up and down and leads to the foot of the
Roa-Scharte (col)
north face along the Geisler peaks, partially through woods, partially
over alpine pastures and brings you to the Brogles alpine hut at 2,045m.
From here one can admire the stunning panoramic views.
Approx. 3 hours from the Schlüter mountain hut.
The Brogles alpine hut is a private property situated on a charming dip in
the land with a view of the Geisler peaks. The building has two floors and offers
running water inside the hut. It has 37 beds and is open from 20th June until
the beginning of October. Refuge in winter with 4 dormitory places; Tel. +39
0471 655642.
A short walk is recommended for hikers with a particular interest in geology.
Hike up to the Broglesscharte (col at 2,119m) for about 10 to 15 minutes - here
the north face of the Secëda offers an insight into the Dolomites’ structure.
From Brogles, head south along path No. 6 and, staying on this
trail, climb over a rock secured with ropes. At the junction, climb up
the gully through the rocks to the Panascharte (col at 2,450m). Your
gaze will be drawn to the green area on the Ncìsles on the Sella range
and on the Langkofel (Sasslonch).
From the Panascharte take path No. 2b (towards the south) and
then, after a few minutes, cross onto path no. 1 that leads downhill
