Details

From Wolkenstein/  Selva di Val Gardena, we take the cable car Dantercepies-Joch and follow the sign “Puezhütte” along the path nr. 12A, in eastern direction, until we reach the Jimmy Hut. Thereafer, we follow path nr. 2, a quite stony uphill path, to the Cierjoch and the Crespeinajoch.

From there, the alpine path Crespeina leads us steeply downhill in the hollow of the Lake Crespeina. After a long break, we continue following the alpine path in northern direction, to the Ciampeijoch on 2.366 m, pass a gorge and walk uphill to the plateau Gardenaccia. We follow the path nr. 2/4, turn left to the Puez Hut. Path nr. 14 leads steeply downhill into the Vallunga. From there, a wide forest path leads us through the romantic woods. We reach the end of the valley in about an hour, follow the pathed road for approx. 20 minutes and take the cable car Dantercepies back to the car park.
