    La télécabine de Jenesien n'existe plus. Prendre le bus Placé de la Victoire.

    Décidé de nous arrêter dans la ferme auberge de http://www.pirchhof.com/
    Très bon accueil, eau chaude à volonté et beau décor. On est en plein Tyrol, à quelques heures de marche de l'Autriche et certains ici ne parlent pas du tout italien.

    Decide to stop us in the farmhouse hostel http://www.pirchhof.com/ Very welcome, hot water at will and beautiful scenery. We are in the middle of the Tyrol, a few hours walk from Austria and some here do not speak Italian at all.

    Attention à ne pas se tromper de télécabine. Le premier qu'on rencontre à Bolzano nous emmène à Oberbozen et non pas à Jenesien. Mais ce télécabine qui ne coûte que 6 CHF vaut vraiment le détour. Au dessus de Dorf Tyrol, le chemin qui longe la falaise est mémorable, sublime!

    Be careful not to go wrong with a gondola. The first one we meet in Bolzano takes us to Oberbozen and not to Jenesien. But this gondola that costs only 6 CHF is really worth seeing. Above Dorf Tyrol, the path along the cliff is memorable, sublime!

    Longue étape avec peu de dénivelé, qui se déroule dans les bois, puis au milieu d'alpages bien séparés par des barrières en bois, et enfin sur de vastes espaces de landes herbeuses et de paturages. Attention aux orages sur les crètes !
    Le Rifugio Merano est un gite offrant des prestations de grande qualité.

    Long stage with low gradient, which takes place in the woods and then to the well separated by wooden barriers alpine environment, and finally over large areas of moorland and grassy pastures. Beware of thunderstorms over the ridges! Rifugio Merano is a cottage offering high quality services.

    Monaco - Trieste
    Great location for bivouac near Moltner meadow

    For people avoiding cable cars it takes about 1h30 to walk down to Bolzano from Jenesien (mostly on road, steeply down)

    The campingplatz in Bolzano is way off the Via Alpina, tourist office by the main place
  • Mountain Girl - 2012-10-16
    This is an absolutely lovely stage, crossing high mountain meadows with splendid views. Meraner hut is very comfortable: more like a 'pension' than a true mtn hut.
  • Lighthiker - 2010-05-17
    Es gibt auch einen Bus hinauf nach Jenesien, der früher als die Seilbahn vom Busbahnhof in Bozen aus startet.

    There is also a bus up to Jenesien that starts earlier than the cable car from the bus station in Bolzano.
