Panorama Trail - Kreuzboden

Today, our team embarked on a memorable hike, starting at Kreuzboden at an elevation of 2,400 meters and winding our way down to Sass Almagell at 1,675 meters. To the reader, this may seem like a gentle downhill hike, but in reality, it was anything but.

The weather couldn't have been more ideal, with perfect temperatures that allowed us to fully appreciate the breathtaking views of the snow-draped peaks.

We intentionally planned several stops during our journey to immerse ourselves in the natural beauty that enveloped us. Consequently, what was initially estimated as a 3-hour and 10-minute hike took us nearly 6 hours to complete.

Marli, in particular, impressed us with her resilience, as this was only her second mountain hike. She consistently wore a cheerful smile and often led the group, allowing me to share insights about navigating rocky terrain and other safety tips. We also delved into discussions about alpine vegetation and wildlife.

Our evening meal brought us back to Pizzeria Poccalino, and we were delighted to be joined by another fellow hiker, Hans Vogler.Read more
