Sas Rigais (Odle)

S.Cristina Gherdëina/St.Christina in Gröden/S.Cristina Gherdëina/S.Cristina Val Gardena, S.Crestina Gherdëina/Santa Cristina Val Gardana, Dolomites Region Val Gardena

Thanks to its bulky shape the Sas Rigais is considered one of the main peaks of the Odle peaks. It reaches 3025 m of hight and it is the highest summit together with the Furchetta.

from center

Together with the Furchëta, it is the highest peak of the Odle group. The Group is considered Reinhold Messner’s backyard. It boasts a stunning 360° view of the Puez plateau, Stevia, Sassolungo and the Val di Funes. A demanding tour with a long ascent and descent and some unsecured passages, it requires a sure-footed approach. We are featuring the east-south trek.

Itinerary

Access: walk from the Col Raiser mountain station to the Rif. Firenze/Regensburger Hütte,
towards Plan Ciautier meadow (path no. 13). Strenuous ascent along Val dla Salieries to reach the access of the via ferrata between Furchëta and Sas Rigais.
Can also be reached without the cablecar from Selva Gardena via Daunei-Juac (+1 h). Or from Ortisei from the Seceda mountain station in an easterly direction below the Odle trail no. 2B towards the Pieralongia hut.

Descent: halfway down the south face, at a fork you can choose whether to continue towards the Forcella del Mesdì or take the lower path, which is a little easier. Then return to the starting
point. Alternatively, the descent can also be made via the ascent trail (east).
