Day 1: To the Schlüterhütte
We meet in St. Andrä, a village belonging to Brixen, at the valley station of the Plose cable car. We take the gondola up to Kreuztal and then hike at a leisurely pace along the Woody Walk to the Rossalm. Our route continues past the Schatzerhütte and down to the Halshütte, where we refuel for the rest of the way. Our next waypoint is the Peitlerscharte, from where we cross the Kreuzkofeljoch and soon reach our destination for the day, the Schlüterhütte.

Day 3: Through the Val Setus
We cross the Crespeina plateau and, passing the Ciampeischarte, continue over the Crespeinascharte and the Cirjoch down to the Sella Pass. Then comes the crux of the whole week: through the gully of the Val Setus, partly on sections protected by fixed cables, we climb up to the Pisciaduhütte, where we refuel for the rest of the way. In the afternoon we head up through the Val de Tita onto the Sella plateau, where we soon reach our destination for the day, the modernised Boehütte, also known as the Bamberger Hütte.
Total time: 7 h | ↑ 1,250 m | ↓ 800 m | Difficulty: A/B (via ferrata)

Day 4: To the Falierhütte
From the Bamberger Hütte we continue without much ascent or descent to the Pordoischarte and on to Sas Pordoi. From here we treat ourselves to the cable car ride down to the Pordoi Pass. Following the Bindelweg, we reach Lake Fedaia below the Marmolada. From the lake, a taxi takes us to Malga Ciapela on the south side of the sheer rock face of the Marmolada, which we can admire at length on the subsequent ascent to the Rifugio Falier.
Walking time: 6.5 h | ↑ 1,050 m | ↓ 650 m

Day 5: To the Rifugio Valles
We leave the hut, which is especially popular with climbers, most of whom have their sights set on the south face of the Marmolada, and climb to the Pas de Ombretola and on to the Pas de Cirele. Heading downhill past the Rifugio Fuciade, we reach the Passo San Pellegrino. We take the cable car up to Col Margherita. The last section of the day leads us over the Forcella Predazzo to the Passo Valles and the hut of the same name, the Rifugio Valles.
