Directions
The hike starts in Tesselberg/Montassilone at the large panoramic board above the Hotel Miraval. Follow the trail to the Tesselberger Alm for a short time, then hike along the steep path no. 7A, which leads along several forest slopes to the summit of the “Geige”. From the summit cross, descend over the ridge into a hollow. There, the path no. 8 branches off to the left into the Mühlbachtal. After reaching the valley bottom, continue to the left and walk across the road (no. 2) out of the valley. At the crossroads turn right onto the access road to Mühlbach/Rio Molino and continue until you reach a bend. Shortly afterwards turn to the left. Continue until you reach path no. 4, which leads back to the starting point.

Tesselberg/Montassilone is only accessible by car. Alternatively, you can take bus no. 450 to Gais, stop Dorf/Paese, and then walk up to Tesselberg/Montassilone (approx. 1h walking time).
