Three Peaks Sunrise
Sunrise hike to South Tyrol's landmark
Shrouded in legend and myth, the Three Peaks resemble the dorsal spines of a petrified dragon. Gray, barren, and inhospitable, they have always exerted a magical attraction. The Naturhotel Leitlhof takes you on a hike to the Three Peaks at sunrise—a journey through time and space around South Tyrol's landmark.
The start is at 3:50 a.m. – it's worth getting up early, because the Three Peaks are anything but lonely later in the day. The hotel's shuttle takes you and the hiking guide from the Leitlhof to the Auronzo Hut, from where the hike leads eastwards to the Paternsattel. This is THE PLACE TO BE for sunrise, offering you the best view of nature's painting session. In no time at all, the sun playfully bathes the gray of the Three Peaks in all kinds of colors – from yellow to purple to red. It's as if it's asking you, "So, which dress is your favorite?" In between, depending on the weather, wisps of clouds float by, trying out all kinds of colors themselves.
Along the imposing north faces, you hike back towards Langalm and return to the starting point. The 6 km long Drei Zinnen hike takes around 3.5 hours and is of medium difficulty.
... a rich breakfast buffet awaits you. While the other guests were still dreaming in their beds, you already experienced a real dream. WOW! And now you have a whole long vacation day ahead of you. At the cozy Naturhotel Leitlhof, it's easy to fill it according to your tastes. If you're still in action mode, you can borrow a bike free of charge or take part in a guided e-bike tour. Or you can attend an hour of Pilates, stretching, forest bathing, aqua gym, or yoga with the hotel's own fitness trainer. Fancy another hike? The reception desk can recommend hikes of all levels of difficulty at any time of day. As they enjoy hiking in the surrounding mountains themselves, the ladies and gentlemen at the reception desk know exactly what they are talking about.
If you've already used up all your energy on the Three Peaks hike, the Naturhotel Leitlhof offers the finest in wellness: numerous saunas, a great outdoor pool, and plenty of space to retreat and read your favorite book. Or maybe you'd just like to sleep in your cozy nature suite and recap your dream come true. Time at the Leitlhof is definitely a vacation dream—perfect for an unforgettable hiking vacation in Alta Pusteria.
