The Canyon - Bletterbach - Pietralba

With a minibus we are taken from Nova Ponente (Gibitzplatz) to the visitor center GEOPARC Bletterbach. In a guided tour of the museum, participants will learn more about the origins of the Dolomites. Afterwards, we enter the gorge-like "pigeon hole" into the ravine, in order to experience once more a vivid insight into the geological history of the region and the geological structure of the Dolomites. At the rocky basin of the butterloch we descend again from the ravine and go on the European hiking trail E5 in direction Pietralba up to the Kösertal (1696m). From there we cross the Winter Valley to the magical Almrevier of the Petersberger Leger hut (1529m). Enjoy lunch at the hut with a great view of the Whitehorn, the Ifinger, the Rittnerhorn and Pietralba. After the lunch break we will continue to Pietralba. In about 35 min. we reached the place of pilgrimage. From the place of pilgrimage to Nova Ponente there are 2 possibilities. On foot to Nova Ponente (about 1.5 hours walking time) or by bus. At 17.15 h you will be back in Nova Ponente.
