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).

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.

Tofana di Rozes is a popular peak in summer and, in winter, a magnificent and challenging ski touring destination. The ascent starts from the parking lot on the road to Passo Falzarego. The route first leads over wide slopes to the rocks and then continues to the Giussani Hut (closed in winter). A long traverse across the northeast slope with avalanche risk follows, leading to the ridge, which requires excellent kick-turn skills. The final section of the ascent goes over a steep, often windblown platform on the western slope. From the summit ridge, it continues to the summit cross. The descent follows the ascent route, with particular attention to avalanches on the shady northern slope. In the section below the rocks, there is often southern firn, making the descent a well-deserved reward.

Skialpinistická túra na Kleine Gaisl (italsky Croda Rossa Piccada) patří k těm náročnějším. Jak kvůli délce, tak i lavinovému nebezpečí za severních svazích. Členitým terénem přes sedlo Fossesser Ridl. Nejobtížnější je vystoupat na hřeben pod Roten Wand a pak po plochém hřebenu na vrchol. Odměnou je impozantní výhled na celé východní Dolomity i mohutné skály Hohe Gaisl. Z vrcholu je vidět sjezdová linie z Passo Colfiedo. Sjezd kopíruje výstupovou trasu.

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.

The ski tour to Oberbachernspitze is extremely interesting. From the Fischleintal valley, Talschlusshütte is heading for the wild valley of Rio Fiscalino. Under the monumental mountain Zwölferkogel turn right and climb a narrow gutter to the west. Further progress through the rugged terrain, to the right is the Zsigmondy Hütte. Continue to the right, northwest. The final passage through the steeper slope is not demanding on orientation. From the top a wonderful view to Tre Cime.
