The Alpe di Siusi is easily accessible from the Val Gardena thanks to the Mont Sëuc cable car which connects Oltretorrente near Ortisei to the mountain station on Monte Piz. As we arrive there, we are already in the heart of the Alpe di Siusi.

Initially, we follow the stony path no. 6A to Malga Contrin (with refreshment point). Then, we descend along the partially paved path no. 6 passing the Hotel Icaro. At the crossroads where the road from Compaccio to Saltria branches off, we stay on path no. 6 until the Hotel Panorama comes into sight. At the fork slightly before the hotel, we turn left onto path no. 7 towards Punta d'Oro - Molignon. The next hilly section leads through an alpine landscape characterised by alpine roses. We arrive at the Molignon hut (2,054 m a.s.l.) at the foot of the Denti di Terrarossa where we stop for a break.

Path no. 8A descends steeply to the Rio Dialer from where we continue along path no. 8 to Malga Tirler and Saltria. From there (1,675 m a.s.l.), we return to the mountain station of Ortisei at 2,000 m a.s.l. (signpost no. 9). Thanks to this challenging hike we discovered the different landscapes of the Alpe di Siusi in all their facets.
