This mountain route takes us along the feet of the most beautiful and highest peaks of the Puez-Geisler Nature Park. The peaks of Sas Rigais and Furchëta with the Piz Duleda, Col da la Piëres and the steep walls of Stevia as well as towards the end of the hike the Cir peaks provide a breathtaking panorama. Initially, we walk over the green alpine meadows of Secëda and later dive into the lunar landscape of the Dolomite rock, where alpine pastures alternate with sparse rocky landscape. The Crespëinasee with its clear water rounds off the natural experience on this hiking day.
