Lago di Braies: the lakeside path all the way around the lake, starting at the car park on the shore.
Rifugio Roda di Vael: from the Paolina top station along the Hirzelweg, past the Christomannos monument to the hut and back the same way.
Tre Cime di Lavaredo: the loop from Rifugio Auronzo via Rifugio Lavaredo, the Paternsattel saddle, the Dreizinnenhütte and the Langalm.
Adolf-Munkel-Weg: the loop below the Odle peaks via Geisleralm and Dusler Alm, starting at Zanser Alm in the Villnöss valley.
Seceda: the loop up to the Seceda summit and back via the Pieralongia pasture and the Regensburger hut, with the Col Raiser top station as start and finish.

Every tour comes as a GPX file for Garmin navigation. The PDF guide in German and English shows each tour with map, elevation profile, stages, starting point and places to eat, plus a packing list and instructions for importing the tours to your watch.
