The first ascent of the Schlernmassivs decreases to Johann Santner and the year 1880 - still today the Santnerspitze carries his name.
The limestone massif is really legendary: Witches should have romped about on the legendary mountain, it is said they have danced and celebrated their parties there.
In 1974 the Schlern became a nature reserve under protection with some adjoining surfaces, which was extended in 2003 to the nature park Schlern-Rosengarten.
A hiking tour on the landmark of South Tirol is a must and an unforgettable experience for every travelling friend.
