tarting from the Hochmuth cable car, the trail winds up through forested switchbacks toward Mutkopf. From there, the route steepens but remains manageable as it snakes along a panoramic ridge. The final ascent offers sweeping views, culminating at 2294m on Mutspitze’s peak. The summit offers an unforgettable 360° panorama stretching from the Ortler group to the Dolomites. A must for peak-baggers in South Tyrol.
