An easy three-peak walk with magnificent panoramic views and plenty of lovely spots to stop and relax.
This varied three-peak tour above Tesselberg combines scenic high-altitude trails, tranquil forest sections and sweeping mountain ridges to create a particularly rewarding circular walk. To begin with, the path leads you steeply uphill through shady coniferous woodland, before the landscape opens up above the tree line and you reach the first summit, the Geige. Even here, an impressive panorama of Bruneck, the lower Ahrntal and the surrounding mountains awaits you. Afterwards, the walk becomes much more leisurely: you continue along the broad, open mountain ridge with magnificent views to the summit of the Kor. The crossing to the Schönbichl offers a bit of variety and requires sure-footedness and concentration at a short section secured by a steel chain. You then reach the third summit of the tour via a gentler section. On the descent, the cosy alpine hut is the perfect place to stop for a refreshment before heading back to the starting point. An all-round successful tour for anyone wishing to combine several easily accessible peaks, lovely rest spots and sweeping panoramic views.
The walk can also be done in the opposite direction and extended beyond Schönbichl via the Hühnerspiel (2.136 m).
At the hiking signpost just above the parking lot, follow sign 7A to the left and walk along the farm road for a while. Just before the last farmsteads, turn left onto forest path no. 7A, which takes you on a fairly steep climb through a shady coniferous forest. Once you reach the tree line, follow the narrow meadow path up to the summit of the Geige, which is already visible. From the viewing bench at the foot of the summit cross, you can enjoy a breathtaking panoramic view of Brunico, the lower Ahrntal valley and the surrounding mountains.
The path no. 8 now follows the broad, flat ridge, well marked, to the summit cross of the Kor, from where you can already recognise your next destination.
Continue from Kor in the direction of Schönbichl. It soon becomes steeper and more exposed, with a short rocky section that is well secured with steel chains. Then the route is fairly flat to the summit cross, which offers great views.
For the descent, follow the signposted path that leads you over the broad ridge towards the little peak Hühnerspiel. You can soon branch off to the Tesselbergeralm (refreshment stop), from where the forest road leads back to the starting point. If you wish, you can first climb the Hühnerspiel and cross a little lower down to the alp hut Tesselbergeralm.
