The snowshoe hike on the Cima Lasta/Astjoch Peak (2,194 m) is one of the most rewarding things to do in the area. The magnificent summit view of the surrounding mountains is simply impressive.
Starting point is the car park Kreuzner in Elle/Ellen. From there, the trail no. 67 leads in about one hour to the Kaser huts. After a total hike of two hours, the peak of Astjoch is reached from the east side. Descent on the west side and follow trail no. 67B to the Rastner hut (possibility of refreshment). After a short ascent reach the other side (towards Pustertal/Val Pusteria) again and then walk back down to Elle.
Before you start for a snowshoe hike you should always consult the avalanche and weather report!
