Hiking to Monte Lutta

A stunning view on the Dolomite mountain range characterises this pleasant hike.

Monte Lutta is a roundish elevation in the north east of the localities Monguelfo and Tesido. The summit, which is free from trees, offers a great view on the Dolomites and Alta Val Pusteria.

Our hike to the summit of Monte Lutta starts at the “Mudler Hof” at (1,584 m), which can be reached by car from Tesido. This is where the trail n° 31 starts, taking along a forest road and later on on a trail across the forest to the so called Brunnenwiesen meadows. Then the trail diverts to the right, leading onto our hiking destination at 2,145 m, which also represents the highest point of our hike.

Along rather plain terrain we proceed across a ridge, always on path n° 31 and soon we reach the “Taistner Alm” at 1,992 m asl after a final short ascend. Stop for a bite to eat and have a drink, as afterwards we walk on on path n° 38, our trail back, which leads us back to the starting point.

Walking time: some 3.5 hours

Possible stop at: Taistner Alm
