September 27, 2023,Dürrenstein Bella Vista 🤩🌞 27.09.2023

Today an "easy" summit right "in front of the hotel door" 😅 The first few meters up to the Plätzwiese by bus and then the approx. 4.5km climb on really good mountain paths to the summit of Dürrenstein. A magnificent summit view awaited us at the top in all directions. Drei Zinnen, Cristallo, Elfer, Zwölfer, Hohe Gaisl and and and..... …

I actually thought that you only do a sunrise tour once on holiday, to experience what it feels like to climb the summit in the dark. After the heat hike on Tuesday, I decided to join the guided sunrise tour again this week. Crazy, the start time was 2:30 a.m. at the hotel. We set off at around 3:15 a.m. …

It was supposed to be an easy mountain hike.
Just before the summit cross, a thunderstorm came in and we had to turn around 😬. The summit was within reach.
We made the descent
entally in a thunderstorm with heavy hail. We took some great photos of the Three Peaks.
We arrived back safe and sound, completely soaked.

Day 5: Today we took the bus to the Plätzwiese in the Braies Valley (2000m) in the best hiking weather. From there it went up to the Dürrenstein (2,839m). Over good mountain paths steadily in serpentines towards the white Dolomite summit. The views along the way and at the top were breathtakingly beautiful 🤩📸. Unfortunately, we didn't dare to do …

September 21, 2022,Panoramarunde Plätzwiese - Dürrenstein (2842m) - Dürrensteinhütte

A very strenuous tour with almost 900 vertical meters uphill to the summit. The route is the goal. Not the most beautiful tour, but the view at the end is gigantic... fantastic or just incredibly beautiful.

Arrive by bus to Plätzwiese at approx. 2000 m. Then on easy paths (red) to the Dürrenstein summit with a wonderful panorama. Shortly before the summit there is a short rope-secured point. From the summit, first take the same route back to the Dürrensteinhütte.
