    To Plätzwiese high plateau

    The Plätzwiese is a high plateau at an altitude of 2,000 meters, with overwhelming panoramic views of the nearby mountains Dürrenstein and Hohe Gaisl and from there to the more distant peaks of Monte Cristallo and Tofane. On the Plätzwiese High plateau visitors experience nature and peace. Not least because of its inclusion in the Nature Park Fanes-Senes-Braies this jewel, surrounded by majestic peaks, has retained its unspoilt nature.

    The Pragser Tal Valley is open to public transport all day. It can be reached by car, by public transport, on foot and by bicycle.

    At this time of year, no online booking is required to enter the Pragser Tal Valley. At present, access to Plätzwiese high plateau (for a maximum of 100 cars) is free of charge and possible all day.

    There is a year-round ban on private buses and motor homes (campers) passing through.

    Altprags / Braies Vecchia

    The small village of "Altprags" / „Braies Vecchia“ is located about 5 km from the centre of Prags / Braies in the direction of Plätzwiese high plateau. In the midst of untouched meadows and forests, this place is the perfect starting point for hikes of all levels of difficulty. On the spring path you can teach your children about the importance of water, hike over the Buchsenridl to the rustic Putzalm hut or enjoy the view of the Dolomite peak "Sarlkofel". Doesn't that sound fantastic?
