    The Puflatsch tour from Compatsch in imperial weather is highly recommended.

    Panorama tour around Puflatsch - Seiser Alm

    Embark on the Panorama tour around Puflatsch, a moderate hike spanning 5.5 miles (8.8 km) with an elevation gain of 1038 feet (316 metres), typically taking 2 hours and 42 minutes. This route guides you across wide alpine meadows and gentle hills, offering a constant 360-degree panorama of the Dolomites, including views of Val Gardena and the Schlern. You will encounter a mix of gravel, natural paths, and some paved sections, passing charming small wooden houses and, in summer, an abundance of wildflowers.

    To begin your hike, head to Compatsch, the usual starting point for the Panorama tour. Keep in mind that private vehicle access to the plateau is restricted during certain hours, so you can reach Compatsch by the Seiser Alm Aerial Cableway or by bus. While there can be an initial steep ascent from Compatsch, you have the option to take the Telemix Puflatsch lift to bypass this section, making the rest of the trail relatively flat with occasional small climbs and descents.

    This trail is celebrated for its unique features, including the mystical Witches' Benches (Hexenbänke), stone formations steeped in local folklore. You will also find the Engelsrast (Angel's Rest) viewing platform and Filln Cross, both offering outstanding vistas of the surrounding peaks. Along the way, you can stop at mountain huts like Tschötsch Alm or Arnika Hut for refreshments and to enjoy traditional Tyrolean cuisine amidst the stunning scenery.
