The alpine pasture area, known widely as the Luson and Rodengo Alp, extends into the Luson Mountains in the Isarco Valley
The first or northern part of the 2,300 hectares large alpine pasture area known as the Rodengo and Luson Alp, more precisely the area from the Zumis car park, is called Rodengo Alp. It is located along the border path, called Konfinweg, in the area of the Roner and the Starkenfeld Mountain Huts, in the municipality of Rodengo, and occupies about 350 hectares - 15% of the whole area.
The gentle alpine meadows of the Rodengo Alp (Rodenecker Alm) with its refreshment stops such as the Roner, Rastner or Starkenfeld Mountain Huts - all of them located beneath the 2,000 metres a.s.l. - attract many hikers in summer who appreciate the flat hiking trails on the high plateau. From the Herol, Tulper-Gampis, Oberflitt, Schweiger Böden and Petschied car parks, on the other hand, you can reach the wide alpine pastures of the Luson Alp, which occupy the remaining 85%.
In winter, the Rodengo and Luson Alp becomes a popular destination for cross-country skiers and winter hikers who appreciate the remote location. From the highland you have a wonderful view on the Zillertal Alps, the Grossglockner, the Odle Group, the Brenta Group as well as the Oetztal and Stubai Alps. Here, the Rodengo and Luson Alp track - one of the cross-country ski tracks in the Valle Isarco - snakes its way through the snow-covered landscape, and here you may try the winter hike on the Rodengo and Luson Alp or the snowshoe hike to the Rastner Mountain Hut.
