To Roen

Beautiful and easy mountain trail with some climbs
Start: Mendel cable car mountain station
Finish: Roen Peak (2,116 m)
Duration: around 3.5 hours;
Elevation gain: around 750 m
Extra alternative route duration: 45 minutes
Route: Take the forest track (no. 500) directly behind the train station. Walk by the Enzian hut, take a left and continue to the midway hut (Halbweghütte). From there, follow path no. 500 until the Romenoalm Hut and continue on no. 500 to the Roen Summit. Enjoy the beautiful view on the Dolomites and Ortles. Expect a blooming mountain flora by the end of June.
Recommended alternative route: Take a left at the Romenoalm Hut to the Überetscher Hut (no. 10). From there, keep to the “via ferrata” (no. 23) leading to the Roen Summit. Only for surefooted hikers not scared of heights!
