Round trail hike across
the Plose Peak to the lodge Ochsenalm

From the mountain station of the Plose gondola lift, the path leads briefly along the Bressanone Altitude Trail no. 30 to the junction of the trails 3/7. Marking no. 7, the path runs along the slope of Schönjöchl to the saddle of the same name and further over the ridge to the lodge Plosehütte at 2447 m.

A short, almost level path, no. 6, leads to the Telegraph, which offers an excellent viewing platform. The panorama extends from the Zillertal Alps to the Dolomites, the Brenta group in the south and the Ortles massif in the west. A unique panoramic table explains the surrounding mountains in a simple yet clear way.

Now the descent to the lodge Ochsenalm begins. Surefootedness is required on the first section to the Leonharder Cross.

From the Ochsenalm, the Bressanone Altitude Trail, marked no. 30, leads southwards at the upper limit of the Zirmhochwald on a more or less level course to Kreuztal / Val Croce, the starting point of the hike. Numerous hollows and trenches on the western and north-western slopes of the Telegraph and finally also the pronounced Trametsch Trench below the Plosehütte are crossed.

Important: For hikes in the mountains you need proper equipment. Always wear sturdy shoes with non-slip soles, and bring rain protection, a warm jacket, even in summer, and plenty of water with you. Hiking at your own risk.
