Great Cinema on Mount Plose
Sunrise Hike followed by breakfast
The silence of the early morning hours and the fascinating view of the Dolomites make the sunrise on the Mount Gabler unforgettable. This feeling when you stand on the summit in the morning and watch the first rays of sunshine is indescribable! After the ride with the Pfannspitze gondola lift, we hike in about 45 minutes to the summit of the Mount Gabler at 2,576 m and await the sunrise in front of the unique backdrop of the Peitlerkofel, the Aferer and the Villnöss Geisler as well as the Dolomites further away. Full of impressions we descend to the Pfannspitzhütte for a gourmet breakfast.

Directions
From the mountain station, after a first short ascent trail no. 7 leads mostly on a level course to the ascent to Mount Gabler. This last section, about 50 m long, requires sure-footedness. The reward on top of Mount Gabler (2,576 m) is all the greater. The panoramic views couldn’t be more beautiful.
The way back follows the same trail. The Mountain Hut Pfannspitzhütte is close to the gondola lift station.
Important: For hikes in the mountains you need proper equipment. Always wear sturdy shoes with non-slip soles, and bring rain protection, a warm jacket, even in summer, and plenty of water with you. Hiking at your own risk.
How to get there
The distance from Brixen to the bottom station of the PFANNSPITZE gondola lift is 22km. In Brixen follow the signs to PLOSE. In the low mountain range you drive through the villages of St. Andrä, St. Jakob, and Afers. When you arrive in Palmschoß, follow a sharp S curve in the direction Skihütte (from Palmschoß another 3 km).
Tip for the sat nav: Enter Berghotel Schlemmer in Skihütte as your destination.

Highlight
Legend has it that one upon a time the moon princess fell ill with homesickness in the Dolomites. Thus, a dwarf people covered the mountains with a net of threads of light and the princess was healed. The mountains, however, remained pale mountains.
Floating through the night in the moonlight and then setting foot one after the other. On the way to the summit. Slowly the darkness clears. A new day is dawning. We get to experience it in this magical place.
