Directions

The set-off point for this winter hike is the Nigerpass. Even at this point, the views over the Rosengarten are absolutely stunning. The trail then winds along through the Nigra forest and on to the Vöstl mountain hut and further on to the Jocher Hof farm, past the Hagner Alm mountain hut, and on to the Schillerhof. This loop trail begins on the big forest trail  and ends at the Nigerjochhaus restaurant.

Please check the opening hours of the huts and restaurants: www.seiseralm.it/huts
