At the end of the meadow, keep slightly to the right up to the Reschner Alm 2020m. From here, follow the summer path almost horizontally to the right edge of a steep upswing. Behind this, turn left (westwards) briefly steeply into a shallow hollow. After the tree line, keep left to the weather cross at Sesslad 2375m. If the snow conditions are uncertain, stop there and enjoy the view. From here, the rest of the ascent route over the very steep southern flank is quite clear. Climb very steeply between rock ribs from left to right up to the large slope area. Keep to the right as far as possible to the summit cross at 2808m.
This sunny tour rewards ski tourers with a magnificent view of the surrounding mountains. The extensive ascent and descent terrain, surrounded by the highest mountains of the Vinschgau Valley, offers plenty of peace and untouched nature.
