This route circling the Sassolungo massif is a superlative trial run. The beautiful landscape and the breathtaking views will make you forget the physical exertion. The route runs mostly on a constant elevation between approx. 2,200 m and 2,300 m, so that you experience only small changes in elevation.
Author’s recommendation
The Sassolungo, or Saslonch in ladin, is the highest peak of the mountain group of the same name at 3,181m above sea level.
