Hiking Trail Truden/Trodena – Horn Alm/Malga Corno – Truden/Trodena
Starting in Trodena/Truden we take the European long distance path E5. We walk through a wonderful mixed coniferous forest on a forestry trail and we get to the col “Ziss-Sattel”. The trail continues to the “Hornalm” on 1.710 m. The panoramic view from here is surely worth the tiring climb: You have a wonderful view over the mountain chain “Lagoraikette”, the Palagruppe, the two mountains Schwarzhorn and Weißhorn, the Latemar, the Rosengarten group, the Schlern and the Alps of the Stubaital and Ötztal. After a stop for a bite to eat, we take the path E5 back to Trodena. The Alp is open in Winter from Tuesday to Sunday.
