Piano Fiscalino / Fischleinboden - Rifugio Comici / Zsigmondy Hütte

Access to starting point:
From Ljubljana through the Karawanks Tunnel to Spittal. Next we drive towards Lienz, where at the roundabout we continue in the direction of Sillian and Italy. On the Italian side of the border, we quickly come to San Candido, where we continue left in the direction of the tourist town Sesto / Sexten. Just a little after the town Sesto we come to San Giuseppe / Moss, where signs for Val Fiscalina / Fischleintal direct us to the right. Further, we drive on an ascending road which we follow to a large paid parking lot.

Free parking is approximately 2 km lower, by the bottom station of the circular cable car "Alta Pusteria".

Route description:
From the parking lot, we continue a few tens of meters along the main road and a little before the hotel Dolomitenhof we turn right onto a narrow road that is closed to traffic. The initially still asphalted road soon becomes macadam. From the road, we then turn left onto a wide footpath that leads further through a scenic valley. Along the gentle path, we soon reach the hut Talschlusshütte / Rifugio Fondo Valle.

At the hut, we continue right following the signs »Rif. Tre Cime« and »Rif. Comici«. After a few minutes of walking along the wide track we come again to a marked junction. At the junction, which offers a magnificent view of the north face of the peak Einserkofel / Cima Una (2698 m), we continue left on path 103 where the signs direct us to the hut Rifugio Comici / Zsigmondy Hütte, while right leads the path to the hut Rifugio Locatelli / Drei Zinnen Hütte.

Further on, the path turns left and proceeds over gentle terrain mostly along dwarf pine scrub towards the valley Val Fiscilina Alta. The path then begins to ascend in zigzags and takes us to the slopes on the eastern side of the peak Cima Una. Here the path leads high above the valley under steep walls and constantly heads south. Initially the path crosses the slope with sparse forest a few times, then takes us to even steeper slopes. Since the path is wide, the ascent poses no difficulties. In wintertime, when there is snow here, the path is dangerous for slipping. In the last section of the path to the hut, a beautiful view opens up of the sheer walls of the peak Collerena 2607 m, then the path turns slightly right and follows the final ascent to the Comici hut.

Along the route: Dolomitenhof (1454m), Rifugio Fondo Valle / Talschlußhütte (1548m)

The trip can be extended to the following destinations: Rifugio Carducci (1 h), Rifugio Pian di Cengia (1 h), Bivacco de Toni (3 h 50 min), Croda Fiscalina di Mezzo / Oberbachernspitze (1 h 30 min)
