Scenic hike from Ellen/Elle to Astjoch/Cima Lasta with panoramic views and mountain huts.
This scenic hike in the Rodenecker-Lüsner Alm/Alpe di Rodengo e Luson area starts at the Kreuznerhof car park in Ellen/Elle and leads through peaceful woodland up to the wide alpine pastures of the Lüsner Kamm/dorsale di Luson. The tour offers a beautiful combination of panoramic high-altitude trails, gentle alpine landscapes and inviting mountain huts.
The ascent to the Walder-Alm/Malga Walder already offers the first beautiful views of the surrounding mountains. From there, the route continues to the Astjoch/Burgstall, a wonderful panoramic viewpoint on the Lüsner Kamm/dorsale di Luson. From the summit, you can enjoy impressive views over the Bruneck/Brunico basin, the striking peaks of the Rieserferner Group/Gruppo delle Vedrette di Ries and the vast high plateau of the Rodenecker-Lüsner Alm/Alpe di Rodengo e Luson.
The special appeal of this tour lies in its wide alpine pastures and open landscape. Scenic trails lead across lush mountain meadows and through the characteristic alpine landscape, with ever-changing views of the surrounding South Tyrolean mountains.
For a relaxing break, several managed mountain huts along the route offer opportunities for refreshments. The Rastnerhütte/Rifugio Rastner and Starkenfeldhütte/Rifugio Starkenfeld invite hikers to stop and enjoy regional specialities.
The combination of the summit experience at Astjoch/Burgstall, extensive alpine pastures, magnificent views and traditional mountain huts makes this a particularly varied hike on the Lüsner Kamm/dorsale di Luson.
