With the Mont Sëuc Cable Car, which leads from Oltretorrente near Ortisei to Mt Piz, the highland of Alpe di Siusi is reachable from the Val Gardena in just a few minutes. From the mountain station of the cable car, we follow the stony trail n° 6A to the Contrin mountain hut, from which it leads down to the partly asphalted trail n° 6, passing the Hotel Icaro.
After crossing the road leading from Compaccio to Saltria, we stay on trail n° 6 until we see the Hotel Panorama. Before the hotel, we branch off left to take trail n° 7 in the direction of Punta d'Oro - Molignon. We hike up and down across a beautiful landscape of Alpine roses until we reach the Molignon mountain hut (2,054 m a.s.l.) at the foot of the Horse Teeth Mountains.
Following trail n° 8A steeply upwards we reach the Rio Dialer and take trail n° 8 towards the Tirler mountain hut. Finally we arrive in Saltria (1,675 m). From here, on trail n° 9 we hike back to the mountain station of the cable car (2,000 m), which brings us back to Ortisei. Altogether, this is quite a long (17 km) and exhausting tour, on which you get to know the different beautiful landscapes of Alpe di Siusi!
