Hiking in Deutschnofen: sunny heights

When hiking in the idyllic mountain village of Nova Ponente, the impressive mountain scenery of the Latemar and the Catinaccio massif is omnipresent. Situated at an altitude of 1,357 metres, Deutschnofen is an ideal starting point for varied hiking tours in the Dolomites.

The village is idyllically situated on a picturesque high plateau in the Eggental valley in South Tyrol. Here you are in the midst of the impressive South Tyrolean Dolomites and at the same time you have reserved a spot in the sun. Deutschnofen is the place in South Tyrol that records the most hours of sunshine per year. On average, that's an incredible 2,630 hours! Reason enough for all nature and hiking lovers to set up their holiday accommodation here in a hotel for enjoyable hikes and challenging mountain and climbing routes.

 

 

Hiking in a landscape paradise in Deutschnofen (Nova Ponente)

The hiking trails around Nova Ponente offer varied nature experiences for young and old. On the way you will lose yourself in fantastic views of the magnificent mountain scenery of the Dolomites. But it is not only the unique landscape that makes the heart of every hiking enthusiast beat faster. Along the hiking trails, rustic alpine huts provide a cosy stop for refreshments, because one thing is for sure: hiking whets the appetite and the delicious regional specialities ensure moments of enjoyment at their best.

For example, try the "Sweet hut hike in the Latemar". The medium-difficulty circular hike requires a certain level of fitness, but always offers the opportunity to rest and enjoy. A total of nine alpine pastures await you on this 10-kilometre round hike through the magnificent alpine world of the Latemar Mountains. From apricot schnapps and Kaiserschmarrn (fluffy pancake pieces) to juicy apple pancakes, there is something for every taste. You get a stamp in every hut after feasting and if you have three of them, you get a traditional, blue South Tyrolean winemaker apron as a souvenir of your hike.

Hike to the Rifugio Torre di Pisa

Not to the Leaning Tower of Pisa, but to the refuge of the same name in the Latemar, a number of scenic hiking trails await you, with several mountain huts along the way. If you set off from Obereggen, you will have to climb almost 1200 metres of ascent over a 13-kilometre stretch - a real challenge for your fitness. With the cable car, however, you can shorten the walk to around 7 kilometres and 750 metres of ascent. From the Rifugio Torre di Pisa, the only refuge in the Latemar group, at 2,671 metres above sea level, you can enjoy a magnificent panoramic view of the gigantic Dolomites.

 

Tip: Hiking with a pram in Deutschnofen

When hiking around Nova Ponente and in Val d'Ega, even the youngest mountain enthusiasts will not miss out. On the easy walk from the Lavazè Joch to the Liegalm, wonderful views and a stop for refreshments with animal surprises await you. The hike can also be done with a pram!

    Sehr schöne Tour, jedoch ist mittlerweile eine Art Kletterausrüstung notwendig. Alternativ kann man vor einem Holzgatter (Welches beschreibt das die Route seit 2025 gesperrt ist) rechts abbiegen und einen etwa 2km langen Umweg laufen. Dieser Führt auch zum Gipfel!

    An exciting hike: great views all the way, interesting paths, fantastic rock formations. NOTE: this hike is for experienced, sure footed hikers, because they is a lot of scrambling, many steep descent on scree, and at the time we did it several sections of walking on snow.

    I started the trial on June 2024. You should know that some section of the trial are not longer available - if they ever were -. But more important, some “pasos” are super dangerous unless there is no snow. You should ask in the routes are open before trying to cross them.

    Tolle Tour. Abwechslungsreiche Wege. Aussicht auf die Bletterbachschlucht und auf die Dolomiten. Nur der Abstieg auf den großen Schottersteinen ist etwas rutschig.

    Diese Tour ist wirklich traumhaft schön. Vor allem wenn man durch die Gamsstallscharte kommt und das Bergpanorama zu Füßen hat - das ist herrlich! Allerdings ist das kein Spaziergang, sondern eine einfache bis mittelschwere Bergtour. Zwischen Gamsstallscharte und Latemarhütte geht der Weg über großes Geröll, das ist schon ein wenig anspruchsvoll. Außerdem ist in diesem Bereich kein Weg mehr sichtbar. Es gibt war Wegmarkierungen, aber da muss man sehr aufmerksam sein. An der Stelle, wo der Wanderweg 90 nach rechts abknickt, haben wir wohl eine übersehen und sind in unwegsamem Gelände gelandet. Dank der Handy-Karte sind wir einige Meter zurück und haben dann den richtigen Weg wieder gefunden. Also: aufpassen! Außerdem ist die Abkürzung nach der Lattemar-Hütte zur Seilbahn gesperrt, man muss wie in der Wanderung beschrieben laufen. Diese Wanderung ist für trittsichere, bergerfahrene Kinder ab 8 Jahren machbar - mein Sohn war von dieser Wanderung begeistert. Insgesamt eine sehr schöne Tour!

    Die Originaltour ist bis auf einen kleinen Abschnitt auf einer schmalen Straße wunderbar. Warum die Autorin der Tour den letzten Teil mehr oder weniger auf der Straße läuft ist mir nicht klar. Der offizielle Rückweg ab der Mairlalm auf Weg Nr. 23 zur Sesselbahn zurück ist ein traumhafter Trail.

    Die Tour ist wirklich traumhaft schön und absolut empfehlenswert. Allerdings ist sie durchaus konditionell fordernd und man sollte definitiv Trittsicherheit mitbringen. Daher würde ich sie eher als mittel bis schwer einstufen.
