This hike is one of our favorites. It starts at the ski lift in the Pragser Valley and initially follows a forest road that should not be underestimated, leading to the Putzalm. From the hut, follow the trail signs towards Suisriedl, Sarlsattel, and Lungkofel. The path remains steep, so it is important to pace yourself well. Stick to trail No. 16 as it ascends to the Sarlsattel. Another steep section awaits. As you climb higher, the forest begins to thin out. Once at the top, you are rewarded with a breathtaking view of the striking Dürrenstein. The view of the Lungkofel is particularly impressive, as it stands covered in green vegetation against the backdrop of the mighty rocky Dolomites. The path to Lungkofel is not particularly challenging, so it is possible to reach both summits, Lungkofel and Sarlkofel, without difficulty. However, if you have to choose, we recommend Sarlkofel: the trail is slightly more demanding, but the views along the way and from the summit are truly unforgettable.

The hike can be done as a circular tour. The descent leads across the Kameriot meadows: from the summit, return to the Sarlsattel, but then turn left. You will hike across beautiful alpine meadows and small forests, gradually approaching the Dürrenstein, before following trail No. 14 to the Kameriot meadows. A steep descent through the forest eventually takes you back to the starting point.

The hike is strenuous, and the steep climbs in particular should not be underestimated, but the view is an incomparable reward.
