There is an unpaved parking lot (gravel/grass) directly adjacent to the alpine pasture with space for approximately 30 cars. Congestion may occur around lunchtime. Access to the alpine pasture is generally possible by car, but requires careful driving. Vehicles with very low ground clearance (e.g., sports cars) may have difficulty.

Very friendly staff and owners, reasonable prices, and a great location. The Coltrondo Alm (Malga Coltrondo) is located at an altitude of approximately 1,880 meters on the Carnic Ridge, just across the border between South Tyrol and Veneto, and offers beautiful views of the Sesto Dolomites. It is known for its cozy atmosphere and regional cuisine with homemade specialties. The alpine pasture is particularly popular as a starting point/finish point or stopover for hikes: From the Kreuzberg Pass, it can be reached in about 1.5 hours along a beautiful path through forests and alpine meadows. It is often included in larger alpine pasture tours, for example, together with the Nemesalm or the Klammbachalm.

The Golzentip is a peak that is easy to reach and this time it was even nicer because we had it to ourselves.

Really beautiful summit with a bench to rest on and summit crosses. Incredibly beautiful panoramic view. And here I was completely alone.

A small, narrow path branches off from a crossroads. The sign is somewhat hidden. You leave the usual wide paths and enter a wonderfully quiet area. Walk along great paths and at the top you experience real summit happiness. A wonderful panoramic view!
