Evening Walk in Moso, Sexten Where Tradition Meets the Dolomites

An evening walk through Moso (Moos) in Sexten, nestled in the heart of the Dolomites, feels like stepping into a living postcard. The village, with its rustic wooden chalets, flower adorned balconies, and traditional Tyrolean farmhouses, reflects the charm of alpine life preserved through generations. As the soft golden light of sunset spreads across the valley, the majestic Zwolferkofel (Croda dei Toni) peaks rise dramatically in the backdrop, their jagged silhouettes glowing in hues of pink and orange. This area, part of the Sesto Dolomites, carries a deep historical and cultural significance, once the scene of World War I mountain battles and now a tranquil haven for nature lovers and hikers.

Today, it is not only important for local farmers but also a celebration of culture, bringing the community and visitors together to honor the bond between people, animals, and the mountains.

Hike to the Historic Gleckstein Hut above Grindelwald:

The hike to the Gleckstein Hütte above Grindelwald is one of Switzerland’s most iconic alpine experiences, usually done with an overnight stay at the hut, but equally rewarding as a long day hike. Perched at 2,317 meters on the slopes of the Wetterhorn, the hut was first built in 1895 by the Swiss Alpine Club (SAC) and later expanded, making it one of the oldest SAC mountain huts in the Bernese Oberland. Along the way, the trail winds past cascading waterfalls, lush alpine meadows and sheer cliffs, before opening up to breathtaking views of the Upper Grindelwald Glacier. Wildlife encounters add to the magic, if lucky, you may spot the majestic alpine ibex grazing on the rugged slopes. A hike to Gleckstein is a journey into the heart of the Alps, offering a pure taste of Switzerland’s natural and historical mountain heritage.

With the Grindelwald valley and towering peaks as a backdrop, this rare encounter became a memory to cherish forever.
