    Roadbook

    From the Furkelpass, we follow the gravel road northwards to the junction, turn left to the beautiful hut at the forest edge. From here, the signposted hiking trail No. 1 leads through the forest in a few switchbacks. Across the meadows at the Panorama mountain inn and past the Rifugio Graziani, it goes up to the panorama circular path. This circles the broad summit dome. To the left, we reach the Messner Mountain Museum Corones and a little downhill to the Lumen Museum of Mountain Photography. The summit symbol is a huge peace bell in the small tower with an artistic orientation ring. Around it are the mountain stations.

    We descend northeast to a small summit dome called Spitzhorn with a cross and rest bench and now follow the gravel road past the Geiselsberger hut southwards downwards (finally in several switchbacks through the forest or shortening via the slope) back to the starting point.
