Adolf Munkel Trail (Sentiero Adolf Munkel)

One of the most iconic and picturesque hiking trails in the Dolomites, the Adolf Munkel Trail offers breathtaking close-up views of the majestic Geisler/Odle peaks. Starting from Zannes (reachable by bus or car from Ortisei), this moderate 9 km loop trail traverses alpine meadows, dense forests, and crosses small streams. It's suitable for families and offers various refreshment stops at charming alpine huts like Malga Gampen. The elevation gain is around 400 meters, taking approximately 3-4 hours to complete. It's particularly stunning in summer with wildflowers and in autumn with golden foliage. No specific fees, but parking at Zannes may incur a small charge.
