Hiking Alpe di Siusi in Italy

Alpe di Siusi is Europe's largest high alpine meadow. It is 8 miles wide and 20 miles long and soaring up to 6,500 feet high.

We stayed in Bolzano Italy that was close to public transportation to get to this unbelievable hiking. The town we rode the bus to was Castelrotto where we got our first lift called the Panorama.

Here are the dolomites as I imagined them. Little did we know there were layers and layers of mountains here.

The beginning of our hike was a paved rode such as this. There were many people biking and hiking along the trails. There were other hotels you could stay even around here.

Is the distance you can see other mountains with snow ridges.

There were some waterfalls along the way.

This was one of the huts that sold food and drinks. 

The mountains seem to go on forever.

The mountains had such different shapes.

We hiked along a ridge for an hour so we could see both sides of views. We had to take another lift to get higher. There was much less people up here.

We were so high up there was snow.

Heading down we went through a cow pasture.

Finally making it to the hut for lunch.

This was a beautiful day of hiking with great weather. Such a variety of meadows, snow, alpine trail, and waterfalls.
