Salten Plateau & Jenesien
Salten / Jenesien
A larch-meadow plateau reached directly by cable car from the city, where Haflinger horses graze among the trees, with a panoramic view of the Dolomites in the distance.
From the city, the Jenesien cable car (Seilbahn Jenesien) takes about 10 minutes to reach the village of Jenesien at 1,087 meters. Above it lies the Salten Plateau, where sparse larch forests and pastures intermingle in the “larch meadow” landscape typical of South Tyrol, and golden-maned Haflinger horses graze. Gentle trails lead to viewpoints such as Langfenn, where you can gaze at the Schlern and the Rosengarten. In autumn the larches turn gold, making it the most beautiful season to visit.
