Hiking in South Tyrol
Hiking on the Salten.
Vast larch meadows, impressive views, and countless hiking trails
The Salten is one of the most popular hiking areas in South Tyrol. Between Mölten, Jenesien, and the Tschögglberg stretches a unique plateau with extensive larch meadows, quiet forest paths, and spectacular views of the Dolomites.
Directly from the Kohlbrenner Lodges, you can reach numerous hiking trails that lead you through a landscape that combines peace, nature, and vastness in a special way.
Hiking with a view
The Salten is not a classic mountain area with steep climbs and overcrowded peaks. Instead, gentle paths, open landscapes, and consistently impressive panoramic views over the Etsch Valley and the surrounding mountains await you.
It is precisely this combination that makes the area particularly popular with leisure hikers, nature lovers, and those seeking relaxation.

The unique landscape of the Salten
Characteristic of the Salten are the extensive larch meadows, which are considered the largest contiguous larch plateau in Europe.
Depending on the season, the landscape shows a different side: lush green in spring, sun-drenched in summer, golden in autumn, and often magically snow-covered in winter.


Nature, peace, and deceleration
Those traveling on the Salten experience South Tyrol from its quiet side. Far away from large tourist crowds, the paths invite you to consciously slow down and enjoy nature with all your senses.
It is exactly this feeling that makes the special charm of the region around the Kohlbrenner Lodges.
