Day 2

From the Casera Rigoleto (2,080 m), you go up to the Kniebergsattel via the wide hiking path 146, from where you continue the tour as described above. This tour is timewise similar to the one described above.

ALTERNATIVE ACCOMMODATION

Lunellihütte (1,568 m): if you stay overnight in this beautiful hut, the day’s tour will be shortened by about 45 minutes. However, on the next day the tour is extended by 300 vertical meters, because you have to climb up until just below the Bertihütte. (See “Start of the Dolomiti senza confini from Padola.” page 27) Those who started the Dolomiti senza confini from the Lunellihütte can also descend to the hut with this description. From the Kreuzbergpass, follow path 124 as described above until you reach the Forcella della Biscia (1,942 m). Now you descend to the Lunellihütte via path 171 or alternatively 155. Hotel Kreuzbergpass (1,636 m): For those who would like to spend a more comfortable night between the overnight stays in the huts, the Hotel Kreuzbergpass is recommended. However, this will extend the next day’s tour, which in itself is very demanding in terms of fitness, by about 2.5 hours. Hosting in Sexten: From the Kreuzbergpass the village of Sexten/Moos can be easily reached by public transport. These run every half hour during the main season. There is a variety of inviting restaurants. However, this will extend the tour the next day by about 2.5 hours. Furthermore, a very early start on the next day is not possible if you are dependent on public transport.
