This sophisticated mountain tour brings us to the prehistoric cultural place “Omini di Pietra”. Noone knows exactly for which reason these piles of stones have been built on this elevation and wherefore. In spring, the crocus blossoms on the meadows in this area are overwhelming, and in autumn the larch trees on the Salten show their most colorful side. Worth mentioning is as well the sanstone quarry of Meltina, which you will pass.

During this tour you will pass the following alpine huts, where you can stop and have a rest: Sattlerhütte, Möltner Kaser, Jenesinger-Jöchl-Alm and Lanzenschuster

After ariving at the parking place Schermoos you have two optiones: or you walk for 40 minutes to Meltina, your starting point, or you take the bus which passes 4 times a day at Schermoos.
