Tour to the Mahlknechthütte hut and the Refuge Plattkofelhütte mountain huts - Description

This challenging loop around the Langkofel range,  the ridge-hike on the Schneid and travers of the Steinernen Stadt (“City of Stones“) and the ever-changing views into the distance and depths of the surrounding Dolomites make this high-altitude hike one of the undisputed highlights of the Seiser Alm. At 31 km, it is suitable only for fit walkers with a sure foot. If you would prefer an easier alternative to this tour, we recommend the “Hike around the Plattkofel and Langkofel” tour.
