Mountain hike: Dolomites Alpine Ridgeway (Dolomiten-Höhenweg) No. 5

"Starting point: Sesto/Sexten (1,317 m)

Description: Walking this Alpine ridgeway is a challenging task and therefore only advisable for hikers who are experienced, sure-footed and, above all, fit. From the scenery point of view, this trail does not have such open views as trail no. 4, for example.
