Author’s recommendation
- The tour mostly takes place on Italian territory - please observe the Italian regulations (carrying an avalanche transceiver, probe, shovel; insurance confirmation as well as ID).
- A detour to the summit of Auernig (snowshoe hike SW_N15) is an option to extend the tour.
Derived from the technical difficulty and the stamina requirements.
