Access to starting point:
From Ljubljana through Karawanks tunnel to Spittal. Next we drive towards Lienz, where at the roundabout, we continue in the direction of village Sillian in Italy. On the italian side of the border, we quickly come to San Candido, where we continue left in the direction of tourist town Sesto / Sexten. Only a little after town Sesto we come in San Giuseppe / Moss, where signs for Val Fiscalina / Fischleintal point us to the right. Further, we drive on an ascending road which we follow to a large payable parking lot.
Free parking lot is approximately 2 km lower, by the bottom station of the cable car "Alta Pusteria".
Path description:
From the parking lot, we continue few ten meters on the main road and a little before hotel Dolomitenhof we go right on a narrow road which is closed for traffic. At first still paved with asphalt road soon becomes a macadam. From the road, we then go left on a wide footpath which leads further through a scenic valley. On a gentle path, we then soon reach the mountain hut Talschlusshütte / Rifugio Fondo Valle.
At the mountain hut, we continue right following the signs »Rif. Tre Cime« and »Rif. Comici«. After few minutes of walking on a wide footpath we come again to a marked crossing. At the crossing where there is a magnificent view on the northern wall of the peak Einserkofel / Cima Una (2698m) we continue right on the path 102 where signs point us to the mountain hut Rifugio Locatelli / Drei Zinnen Hütte, left leads the path towards the mountain hut Rifugio Comici / Zsigmondy Hütte.
Further, the path starts ascending a little steeper on the right side of the valley Alteinsteinertal / Valle Sasso Vecchio and mostly runs by dwarf pines. The path then few times gets closer to the stream and also a view starts to open up towards Monte Paterno. When we get closer to a waterfall of the stream Altensteiner Bach, the path turns a little right and starts ascending below the slopes of peaks Punta Slawina Lunga / Langlahn spitze (2770 meters) and Sasso Vecchio / Altsteinspitze (2909 meters). The path brings us out of the dwarf pines and is ascending towards the northwest. Later when the path brings us on less steep grassy slopes, the path turns to the left and past lakes Laghi dei Piani brings us to the hut Locatelli.
From the mountain hut, we continue towards the north past the chapel by which we will notice a signpost, which points us towards the climbing path Via Ferrata Torre di Toblin. After that, the path runs on the right side of the mountain Sasso di Sesto towards the north and is marked with red triangles. Later, the path turns to the left and then follows a short ascent to the saddle between the peaks Sasso di Sesto and Torre di Toblin. On the saddle, we continue left and on an undemanding ridge in few minutes we reach a very panoramic peak.
