A secret summit above Tiers with sweeping Dolomite views.
Between pine forests and panoramic ridges.
This round hike begins from Lavina Bianca and ascends through peaceful woodlands toward the picturesque Tschafonhütte, perched at 1737 m. From there, a steeper climb leads to Croda del Maglio (also known as Hammerwand, 2261 m), offering breathtaking views across the Sciliar-Catinaccio massif. The route is a lesser-known gem with a rewarding mix of solitude, scenery, and varied terrain.

The hidden peak above Tiers
From Lavina Bianca, the path winds steadily upward through serene forests and meadows toward Tschafonhütte — a beloved hut with local charm and homemade strudel. After a pause, the trail steepens over rocky paths toward Croda del Maglio. At the summit, panoramic views stretch toward Catinaccio, Latemar, and the Adige Valley. This trail is a favorite among locals seeking a quieter alternative to crowded Dolomite routes. Descent follows the same path or via an optional forest loop.
