Corn da Mürrasciola circuit

From Sfazu, you reach Rifugio Saoseo easily in just over an hour via the Almstraße through the Val da Camp.

We walk about 200 meters more along the alpine path towards Alpe Camp and turn left onto the Strada privata, which leads uphill in a wide right curve to the Valeni hut. Then you follow the hiking trail westwards through the mountain forest up to the tree line. First in a shallow hollow and then in a wide right bend onto a ridge to the junction: now either continue straight westwards in a slight slope flattening into a hollow, from which you reach the Lagh da Mürrasciola in a right bend through a broad gully or (as we did): on the summer path right into somewhat steeper alpine slopes under the southern cliffs of Corn Mürrasciola up to the eastern edge of the basin of Lagh da Mürrasciola (the steep final slope is crossed with some exposure while ascending). We bypass the rugged lake basin with little altitude loss in a wide left bend to the rock-strewn southern ridge. With sufficient snow cover, you ascend on snowshoes along the rather steep ridge or a little to the right of it until reaching a flattening near the ridge; otherwise, you scramble directly on the well-stepped rocky ridge without snowshoes. We now follow the wavy ridge northwestwards up to the highest point (Cima di Cardan southern summit, 1794m) marked with a cairn. Then we hike down the sometimes somewhat wider, sometimes narrow and snow-covered ridge in several stages to the Forcula da Cardan (the deepest ridge notch). Now we descend northeastwards over wide slopes and in broad hollows to a flattening and walk along the cliff edge southeastwards to a broad ridge, over which we reach the rocky block terrain in the Val Mera. We now follow the wide and gentle valley along the summer markings (on the hiking trail) down to the plain of Alpe Camp. Down the alpine path in two hairpin bends to Rifugio Saoseo.
