IMPORTANT: Before embarking on a ski tour or snowshoe hike, it is essential to carefully study the weather conditions and the avalanche report, or consult with experts. Avalanche safety equipment is mandatory!
The area around the Kreuzberg Pass and the Sesto alpine pastures is a true paradise for snowshoe hikers and ski tourers.
ATTENTION: Snowshoe hikes and ski tours should only be undertaken by experienced and well-trained mountaineers. Always consider the avalanche risk – carrying complete avalanche safety equipment (avalanche transceiver, probe, and shovel) is mandatory. Check the avalanche report and weather conditions before every tour. Those without sufficient experience should only join such tours in the company of a certified mountain guide.
Snowshoe: Schussriedl
Harald Wisthaler, Sesto
Directions
The snow shoe hike starts at the Kreuzberg pass. From there it goes up to the Bärensee lake and on to the Forcella Pian d. Biscia. The so-called vantage point "Schuss" in German, or "Cima dei Colesei" in Italian, not only offers a great view of Sexten, but also of the regional border to Veneto and is particularly popular because of its low difficulty. The route is the same for the way there as well as for the way back.
