Dürrenstein - Picco di Vallandro, 2839 m

An challenging tour to the Passo/Forcelle Cristallo is a dream come true for everyone who loves thrilling descents. It begins just above the Schluderbach junction, and the most extensive variant finishes with a descent to Passo Tre Croci. Ascent starts along a shaded, gentle, rocky streambed leading into a grand alpine valley. You exit its narrow confines via a tight corridor through the rocks (on the left, to the north). Afterward, you cross a consistently steep, wide slope heading toward a choke point below the saddle.

Descent: Usually, you follow the same path used for the ascent. A very worthwhile alternative is descending on the south side. First, there’s a very steep section, which often has firn-like snow thanks to the sun. While skiing down the scree slopes, stay to the right, then go between the dwarf pines down to the saddle near Hotel Tre Croci (bus stop).

The most eastern 3000 peak of the Sexten Alps, a great yet challenging ski tour. In the second half of the tour are steep slopes, over 35 °. A great view of Tre Cime from an unusual angle.

Cresta Bianca je fantasická a náročná túra v masivu Cristallo. Po nástupu u hospůdky Cimabanche / Im Gemärk na rozhraní Südtirol a Veneto se stoupá členitým žlabem Val Pra de Vecia ve stínu severního svahu. Po dlouhém prudkém výstupu následuje traverz východním směrem do sedla Forcella Verde a dlouhý, ale přehledný výstup kotlem Graol de Forame až do sedla Forcella Granda. Odtud v mačkách na nedaleký vrchol Cresta Bianca. Pokud se na začátku sjezdu ze sedla budete držet vpravo, dostanete se do sedla s velkolepým výhledem na Tre Cime i kotel Val Fonda. Další sjezd kopíruje výstupovou trasu.
