The snowshoe hike to the Rittner Horn starts at the Gasserhütte. Follow the groomed winter hiking trail first to the Mair in Plun hut and from there to the Gasteiger Sattel. Then continue on to the Rittner Horn. Along the route, the Mair in Plun hut, the Oberes Horn Haus and the Gasserhütte are great places to stop for refreshments. The return follows the same route as the way out.

The Villandro Alpine Pasture, high above the Isarco Valley and the Brenner motorway, is one of South Tyrol’s lesser-known winter sports areas. This is probably because there are no lifts here—only cross-country ski trails and winter hiking paths.
