Snowshoe hiking

Path no. 1A is sign-posted for snow-shoe hikers and starts near the car park opposite from Hotel Cyprianerhof. Niger Pass can be reached within 2 hours.
After crossing the asphalted pass road you hike in an easterly direction on a forest road (toboggan run) to the junction to Baumannschwaige. Follow the sign-posts and you'll reach an alpine meadow. The path leads to the right and steeply up to the Angelwiesen meadows within 1.5 hours. Here you enjoy a wonderful panoramic view: to the left in a southern direction you enjoy a view of Latemar and Schwarzhorn/Corno Nero and Weißhorn/Corno Bianco, opposite you, you see the Brenta Mountain Group, the Ortler/Ortles Mountain, the Ötztal and Zillertal Alps, and in front of you the Schlern/Sciliar Mountain, and behind you the Laurin Wall and the Vajolet Peaks. From the Angelwiesen meadows it's not far to Hanigerschwaige (1904 m).
The descent is not very difficult. It leads via Plafötschwiesen meadows down to the Traunwiesen meadows and back to the point of departure. back
