Ski tour at the Plätzwiese high plateau in the Pragser Tal Valley - DOLOMITES

3/6/2026 - 3/27/2026

The Plätzwiese high plateau in the Pragser Tal Valley is a high plateau at 2000 m. From the parking area, you can already see two of the three possible ski touring destinations: the Picco di Vallandro 2839 m and the Pyramid (Crepe di Val Chiara 2711 m). The third ski tour, right in the heart of the Hohe Gaisl, the Pinscharte at 2565 m, can only be glimpsed from the refuge Plätzwiesenhütte. All three tours have one thing in common: you’re surrounded by the Dolomites, with stunning views of the Three Peaks (Tre Cime di Lavaredo). Snow and weather conditions will decide your destination on the day. Refreshment stop after the tour on the Plätzwiese. Difficulty: Pyramid easy, Picco di Vallandro and Pinscharte medium.
