Sand in Taufers/Campo Tures
High Altitude Trail Neves
Bruneck/Brunico - Lake Neves 31 km
The hike starts at the lake Neves in Lappach/Lappago. You can start out in either direction: on the path nr. 26 towards the refuge Edelraut/Ponte di Ghiaccio or on the path nr. 24 to refuge Chemnitzer Hütte/Porro. The high altitude trail starts then from the huts on trail nr. 1, which leads over glacial moraine and lonely stone cirques through the glacial landscape of 3,000-metre-plus peaks (Weißzint/Punta Bianca, Möseler/Grande Mesule and Turnerkamp/Cima di Campo) of the main ridge of the Zillertal Alps. The Alta Via di Neves is shorter than many other trails in the region - but also one of the most beautiful.
Huts: mountain refuge Ponte di Ghiaccio/Edelraut Hütte or mountain refuge Giovanni Porro/Chemnitzer Hütte
The tour is possible also in the opposite direction.
