Hike to Sesvenna waterfall

Slingia is a beautiful alpine village high above the Val Venosta valley. You can get here from Burgosia by a mountain road with several twists and turns. At the very end of the village there is a large parking lot (paid). You can go on a number of beautiful hikes from here. The most famous and probably the easiest one is towards the Sesvenna waterfall, where we will also go. There are also several accommodation options if you want to do more hikes from there, for example gasthof Zangerlehof

The dominant peak on this hike is Föllakopf (2,878m), looking like a massive rock castle towering high above the valley. The summit cross can be seen even from a distance. A hiking trail leads to the top from the Sesvennahütte mountain hut, which you can also easily reach from the waterfall.

You can go on the way to the waterfall by following two paths along the marked hiking trail on the south side of the valley or the path leading „in the middle“ through the meadows. The valley itself looks more picturesque than dramatic in this passage.

Finally, a view of the rock wall enclosing the valley and the waterfall flowing over it opens up. The goal of this hike is already in sight.

The road through the valley is really picturesque, almost kitschy. On a warm summer's day, despite the altitude, it is incredibly hot here without any shade.

After about 2.5 kilometers of walking, there is the possibility of refreshments in the Schliniger Alm. There is also a children's corner, and people with the smallest children usually end their walk here.

Looking back, the more massive Ortles mountain range can be seen on the horizon

We gradually moved from the south side to the north side of the valley, so we have slightly different views. The landscape here is really very picturesque.

The essential place is the Innere Alm. Not only is it really beautiful, there is a bench and water, but mainly the tourist routes are divided here. From there, most hikers continue on hiking trail number one up the slope, but if you follow it you won't get directly to the waterfall. So continue straight along the bike path.

Finally, we have a waterfall in the palm of our hands. In addition, cows in the surrounding meadows – simply an Alpine fairy tale.

The waterfall is among the most beautiful thanks to the surrounding area. It is several tens of meters high.

From the waterfall you can see the whole part of the road that we walked. But the village itself is just beyond the bend of the valley. We can continue on to the mountain hut Sesvennahütte, which is also an interesting route.
