Piano Fiscalino / Fischleinboden - Rudihütte

Access to the starting point:
From Ljubljana through the Caravan Tunnel to Spittal. Continue to Lienz, where you will reach a roundabout and continue towards Sillian and Itali. On the Italian side of the border, you quickly reach San Candido, where you turn left towards the tourist town of Sesto / Sexten. Just after Sesto, you reach San Giuseppe / Moss, where the signs for Val Fiscalina / Fischleintal point you to the right. Continue along the ascending road, which you follow to a large pay parking area (3€ for parking longer than 6 hours, otherwise 0,5€ per hour - August 2015).

Path description:
From the parking lot, return along the main road a few tens of metres back to the marked crossroads. Turn right (eastwards) onto the gravel cart track after the "Prati di Croda Rossa" signs. After a short climb, a path called Strada degli Alpini branches off to the right, and we continue straight ahead on the dirt track cart track. The cart track here runs alongside a stream and soon crosses it. Then the ascent becomes a little steeper and cart track becomes a track. Here you walk along the left side of the valley and soon start to climb in the keys. Occasionally we get a nice view towards the top of Punta dei Tre Scarperi, and the path also takes us past a cross and some benches. The forest is relatively sparse here and we also have a view towards the circular cable car leading to the Rudihütte hut. The path then turns slightly to the left and leads to a marked crossroads. Continue to the right along the steeper path, also on the left, to reach the top station of the cable car.

From the crossroads, walk alongside the cable car for a while and then start climbing steeply. The slope becomes steeper as you approach the ski slope. From here you climb steep steps up to the lower slopes near the top of the lift station.

At a crossroads where a dirt road branches off to the right towards the Rifugio Prati di Croda Rossa hut (Rotwandwiesenhütte), continue straight on past the top station of the cable car. The Rudihütte is soon reached along the grassy slopes.

We can extend the trip to the following destinations: Croda Rossa di Sesto (3 h 45 min)
