From the Compaccio-Kompatsch car park (1,844 m) take the bus to the village of Sautaria-Saltria, then the Florian ski lift to Williamshütte hut (2,100, with refreshments). A wide path takes us near the Rifugio Zallinger (2,937 m) and the smaller route 9 to the Rifugio Sassopiatto Plattkofelhütte (2,300 m; one hour from the ski lift). We will trudge up north-east on a marked route (along the South Tyrol – Trentino border) across the wide rocky ridge of the mountain. The steep but not difficult ascent takes us to the summit (2,958 m, 2 hours from the refuge). Return via the same route.

Parking is available at Compaccio.

By bus to Siusi, then cable car to the Alpe di Siusi at Compaccio-Kompatsch.

From Bolzano to Prato all'Isarco. Turn off towards Siusi and go as far as the Alpe di Siusi and Compaccio (access until 9pm). Or by cable car to the Alpe di Siusi.
