Seiser Alm in South Tyrol Italy

This spot is perfect to photograph the two mountains "Langkofel" and "Plattkofel" on the Seiser Alm in the Dolomites. These two mountains are very characteristic for the Seiser Alm - the largest high-altitude alpine meadow in europe. In autumn after sunset you can see the alpine glow. This is an optical phenomenon - the mountains are illuminated by the last atmospheric light and they're glowing in deep red and magenta colors.

You have to park your car on the parking lot near to the cable car station in the village of Compatsch. You can reach Compatsch by car only between 5 p.m. and 9 a.m. And driving along the street to the location is prohibited to non-residents. So you have to walk approx 30-45min. But it's worth the walk!!
