The first ski mountaineering adventure trail in South Tyrol

The Sesto ski touring trail teaches you everything you need to know for safe ski touring during a tour lasting just under two hours. The ski touring trail combines basic theoretical knowledge, for example about the correct behaviour in the event of an avalanche, with an almost six-kilometre tour on which around 540 metres in altitude have to be conquered. The ski touring trail, which is equipped with information boards, starts behind the Zin Fux restaurant and leads between trees and across meadows to the Rotwand. From there to the mountain station, the uphill kick turn is practised in open terrain before returning to the valley via the ski slope.

Directions
The tour is best enjoyed on snowshoes or touring skis. The start is at the Signaue. Behind the hut Zin Fux, the winter hiking trail starts in the direction of Rotwandwiesen / Prati di Croda Rossa. After a short while you cross a snow-covered bridge and a little later the main road. Now the ascent begins: 
between trees and across snow covered meadows, the trail goes up to the “Porzen”, a small skilift on the Rotwand ski mountain. Cross the lift and the slopes to reach the  Rotwandwiesen meadows.

TIP: If your legs are too tired for the descent, the Rotwand cable car will help you back to the valley
