Ascent: From Moso (Moos) in Sesto (Sexten) at 1,339 metres on foot along the road leading into Fischleintal Valley, it’s a short walk to the valley station of the cable car, which you take up the Rotwandwiesen pastures (1,925 m; two taverns; 1.5 hours on foot). High Trail: From the mountain station, follow Trail No. 15 over the pastures and then south through a sparse forest, up to the fork in the road. Here, take Trail No. 15a to the left and continue on this good trail, which is a relatively flat hike through a stand of mountain pine, across some scree, and then through dense mountain forest, practically straight south, to a pronounced ridge at the foot of Papernkofel Mountain. Continue down across a forested ridge to the summit station of the ski lift and across grassy slopes down to Montecroce Comelico (Kreuzberg) Pass (1,636 m, a few hotels); 2.5 hours from Rotwandwiesen. Descent: From Montecroce Comelico, either by some means of transport or on foot through the forest on Trail No. 13a, which branches off to the right a little north of the pass, down towards Moso, a good hour hike.
