Hike to the Rit lawns in San Vigilio

Do you want to experience the South Tyrolean mountains as they used to be? Don’t worry, you do not have to put the clumsy boots of the past on your feet.

To plunge into the history of South Tyrol, you just have to make a nice hike to the Rit lawns. Among the mountain meadows, hills and valleys, the wind still blows from the old days. The nature is uncontaminated and you will immediately understand why the mountain scenery of South Tyrol is unique of its kind.

The advantage of waking up early: With its duration of four hours and a half, this hike is not that long to make you wake up too early in the morning. Nevertheless, we would like to suggest that you head out on it early. In the morning, you can breathe the pure mountain air, and you can also have the possibility of catching a glimpse of the shyest among the alpine animals.
The starting point for this tour is San Vigilio, a town accessible from Plan de Corones/Kronplatz in only 30 minutes of a car-trip. First of all, go up towards the farm Sarjei, and then take the route leading to the Piccolino/Pikolein Pass. From here, you have to take on a small slope along the path number 8, to finally arrive to the Rit lawns.
