Once you have reached your destination, from the refuge located at the foot of the splendid Pralongiá plateau, you can admire the Sassongher and the Sella Group.
Moderatly difficult ski tour
Time of the year: late winter or spring
Refreshment stop: Schönau inn
From the parking lot in Melago/Melag in Langtaufers valley you go to the Melager Alm Alpine Pasture. After 100 m you turn right and follow trail no. 5 in direction to "Planeilscharte" through the wood. Then you follow the east ridge until you reach the Valbenairspitz peak.
Ascent: Option 1: From the parking lot at the valley station, follow the wide forest road moderately steeply uphill with several switchbacks to the Kaserlichtalm alpine hut. Option 2: The more challenging route follows the ski touring trail along the Mahlbach stream, steeply ascending through dense forest to the Kaserlichtalm alpine hut, then continues moderately steep through the forest until you meet the ski slope to the right of the Saxnerhütte alpine hut. From there, follow the right side of the slope over nicely tiered terrain to the Jaufen ridge right of the Saxner lift mountain station, then continue west along the broad ridge to the summit.
Descent: Option 1: From the Kaserlichtalm alpine hut head east and reach the slope in a few minutes. Then descend via the ski slope. Option 2: From the summit, return the same way until you reach the ski slope, then continue down the ski slope (not through the forest).
Pistes are closed after 5:00 PM for safety reasons.
Good to know: This is a premium ski tour featuring designated and cleared parking areas at the starting points, information boards with a panoramic map, route overview and tour data, as well as avalanche transceiver checkpoints for safety equipment testing.
Ascent: Cross the bridge and follow the forest road uphill, which leads right through a short wooded area. At a corner near a forest clearing, turn left into open terrain. Now go straight up until just below a rocky steep section. Ascend diagonally right over a ramp onto a knoll, reaching a plateau at Klammalm alpine hut (1925 m). Continue straight ahead on flat ground, then after a corner turn left into the wide valley. Always stay left and climb over beautiful slopes up to a ridge that leads to a saddle (approx. 2250 m) between a steep ridge on the right and the mountain of Flading/Valettina on the left. Now you can see the Kleine Kreuzspitze summit. From the saddle, head slightly diagonally right into the large hollow and then up the steep summit slope to the peak.
Descent: Same as the ascent.

The Pfannhorn/Corno Fana is a border mountain between Austria and Italy and is quite easy to climb from both sides. In terms of ski touring, this summit is actually quite easy, but the hairpin bend technique is also used.
IMPORTANT: Before starting any ski tour/snowshoe excursion, you must check the weather conditions and danger avalanches report (https://avalanche.report), asking also experts (alpine guides etc.).
Be aware of the avalanche danger. More information at the alpine schools and the mountain guides.
A detailed map is available in the tourist offices.
Ascent: Follow the forest road gently into the valley. Alternatively, it's possible to ascend directly from the valley floor (1,625 m) via a steep ridge between two stream gullies to reach the Schluppesalm (1,825 m). From the alpine hut, head southeast towards a rounded knoll. Ascend to a small saddle (2,050 m) just to the left of it. Continue along the left edge of a depression further into the valley. Then, slightly left of the steeper terrain, ascend at a moderate incline to the base of the large summit slope (2,300 m). This slope becomes increasingly steep and is featureless – it should only be tackled under absolutely safe conditions. The best route leads along the left edge of the slope until approx. 2,450 m, where you traverse diagonally right, very steep (40–45°), to a small ledge (2,470 m). Continue steeply up to the ridge (2,510 m). If not already done below, this is a good place for the ski depot. Follow the narrow ridge to the right to reach the summit with cross. Impressive views down into the Wannser and Ontrat valleys.
Descent: Same as ascent. In spring, you can also descend from the Jaufenhaus to just above the alpine hut (approx. 140 vertical meters), then traverse back into the valley.
Note: Crampons and an ice axe are recommended in spring.
Good to know: This is a premium ski tour featuring designated and cleared parking areas at the starting points, information boards with a panoramic map, route overview and tour data, as well as avalanche transceiver checkpoints for safety equipment testing.Ascent: Follow the forest road for about 1.5 km. After a right-hand hairpin turn, turn left onto another forest road. After another right-hand hairpin, leave the forest road and climb steeply for a short stretch on a trail through dense forest until you reach another forest road, just to the right of the so-called Waldhüttl alpine hut (1744 m). Do not head toward the hut but continue straight across an open area and then through the forest until you reach the path again. Continue straight uphill through sparse forest until you reach the open alpine meadow above the treeline at two alpine huts (1822 m). Pass the hut on the right and head diagonally right up the long hollow. Now climb the entire hollow on the left side of the Saxner North Ridge up to the saddle. From there, go right on a slightly steeper section to the Saxner summit.
Descent: Same as the ascent; at the left-hand hairpin (in descent direction) at 1620 m, do not ski straight down (young forest!).

Ascent: From the parking lot, head right and climb somewhat steeply through a wooded area to a clearing. Now follow the summer trail No. 10 to the right through a sparse forest with tall trees. At 1660 m and 1680 m, you will cross the forest road twice. Where it gets briefly steep, climb diagonally right to reach the trail again at a curve marked with a cross. Continue straight until you reach a game fence and cross open terrain to the Inner Wumblsalm (1906 m). Above the alpine pasture, head diagonally right into a saddle left of a hill (1960 m). Then go left over a ridge into a plateau (2060 m). Climb right of the ridge through hollows until, at 2200 m, you reach the broad ridge on the left. Follow this ridge up to the crest (2360 m). From there, go right over two small rises and reach the summit with a cross in about 10 minutes.
Descent: Same as the ascent.
Note: You can also ascend above the Inner Wumblsalm to the Glaitner Joch and then continue along the ridge (west) to the Glaitner Hochjoch.

A ski mountaineering excursion of medium difficulty but extremely scenic on a groomed trail, in the presence of the most beautiful Dolomite mountain groups. Initially, the route climbs through a beautiful forest of fir and larch trees, offering unique views through the trees, and then along the vast meadows of Störes, an open prairie interrupted here and there by a few characteristic wooden huts. Once you have reached the summit, your effort will be amply rewarded by the splendid 360 degree panoramic view of the Marmolada, the Sella Group, Sassongher, Conturines, Lagazuoi, Fanes and further on to Pütia.
Ascent: Follow the piste uphill for a short distance, then above the farms of Entholz, cross meadows to the left edge of the forest to a farm building. Just past this, take the summer trail (marked no. 25) through the forest to the right of the stream, ascending until you reach a forest road coming in from the left. Follow this road to the right until the junction with the sign “Joggelealm / Einachtspitze.” Continue right on the forest road to the Wildenhütte (1,930 m) at the forest edge. From there, ascend straight over open terrain, pass a hay barn on a hill to the right, then cross left towards the already visible Joggelealm alpine hut (2,070 m). From here, head diagonally left uphill towards the northeast ridge of Einachtspitze. Climb through a wide hollow, then make a short traverse left onto the ridge. Follow the ridge, occasionally staying slightly left of it, passing a small rocky outcrop on the right. Continue briefly over a broad ridge to the summit.
Descent: Return the same way to Wildenhütte mountain hut, or—if snow conditions are safe—descend directly over the northeast flank.
