The Villanderer Alm is known to be one of the largest high alpine pastures in Europe and certainly one of the most popular hiking areas in South Tyrol. The Villanderer Alm circular trail leads along comfortable hiking paths to the most beautiful places on this vast plateau, where breathtaking panoramas alternate with grandiose natural beauty. But man has also left its mark here over centuries, if not millennia. For example, the trail leads past the chapel “Am Toten”, the way there is accompanied by old Stations of the Cross. A little further on, at the Schwarzseen, there are even the remains of a mine from the 16th century.
