KHW 403
Start your hike along the KHW with a ride in the cable car. Upon exiting the cable car, you will be greeted by amazing views of the Southern Tyrolian Dolomites. From here, walk along the hut road towards Helm and Sillianer Hütte. Either continue direct to the hut, or veer off and hike to the „Heimkehrerkreuz“. Sillianer Hütte, already situated in Austria, is approximately 2 hours and 6 km from your starting point. If you are fit and ready to make day one more strenuous, then continue on to Obstansersee Hütte.
