July 14, 2024,Pragser Wildsee zur Seekofelhütte und zurück

The Pragser Wildsee is located in the middle of the Fannes-Sennes-Prags Nature Park. Squeezed into a wild, romantic rocky basin and overlooked by the majestic Seekofel, it is considered the most beautiful lake in the Dolomites. The Pragser Wildsee is considered the pearl of the Dolomite lakes. From there, the path continued uphill in a zigzag pattern over scree. The …

From the parking lot of Lake Braies, path n.1 towards the Biella Refuge (Seekofel Hütte). At the beginning the path is stony, then it gets better. In some places you have to help yourself with the ropes but it is feasible. Remember, in high season, to book parking the day before, via the internet (€ 18 in August 2021). There …

September 8, 2023,🇮🇹Dolomiten: Seekofelhütte vom Pragser Wildsee

Sweaty tour from the romantic (but overcrowded) Pragser Wildsee to the Seekofelhütte with a total of 1141 m in ascent and descent. At least the sporting highlight of this year's Dolomites holiday.

August 31, 2024,Aufstieg vom Pragser Wildsee zur Seekofelhütte - Rundtour

Today we ventured out to Lake Braies again. We were early enough that it wasn't too busy and crowded. The lake and its surroundings with the view of the Seekofel massif are simply picturesque. The crystal-clear and magical turquoise-blue water has an almost irresistible attraction. The car park at the lake was the starting point for our mountain tour up …

September 4, 2022,[Italien | Südtirol] Pragser Wildsee und bis kurz unter die Seekofelhütte

Italy here we are. The journey to the first stop, at the Pragser Wildsee, is impressive in itself. The mountains spiral higher and higher into the sky.
There are two options for parking at the lake: be there before 9:30 a.m. and park for free, or pay €18 a day from 9:30 a.m. and book the ticket online beforehand, otherwise …

A long hike over many scree areas. The last ascent to the summit is impassable and not very spectacular. As always, you are compensated with a magnificent view.
