The Brixen high-mountain trail - Description

Mountain hike crossing the Plose and way back on the Zirm high level path. From the top station of the cable car northwards, next to the fence, there is path n. 7 which crosses the south-east hillside of Schönjöchl and takes you to the same named saddle. Continuing close to the fence it takes you to the Plose hut (2445 m). Just a few hundred meters away there is Mt. Telegraph with the panoramic table. From there you can enjoy the spectacular 360° view of the Dolomites and Zillertaler Alps – all in all over 100 peaks. For the descent to Ochsenalm (path n. 6) a sure foot is requested. Once you have reached Ochsenalm, you follow path n. 30, the Brixen High Level Path, all the way back to the cable car.
