Once around the Einserkofel: A world-class classic.
- Three legendary huts: Zsigmondyhütte, Büllelejochhütte, and Dreizinnenhütte all in one tour
- Geological highlight: Constant views of the Sexten Sundial and the north faces of the Three Peaks
- Pure nature: Passing the crystal-clear lakes of the Bödenalm and through the wild Altensteintal valley
Parking possibility at Fischleinboden (subject to a fee)
Coming from the Pustertal valley, turn off at Innichen into the Sextnertal valley; coming from the Kreuzberg pass, follow the main road to Moos; at the Restaurant Leone, turn off into the Fischleintal valley and drive to the end of the accessible road.
Line 446, Fischleinboden bus stop; during high season alternatively also line 440
Englisch: The tour begins at the parking lot at the Dolomitenhof (1,454 m), accessible by bus, car (parking fee applies) or in about 45 minutes on foot from Sexten; from there, a leisurely path leads to the Talschlusshütte (1,548 m), where you turn right onto trails No. 102/103 into the Altensteintal valley and climb briefly to a junction. Turn left onto trail No. 103 and continue uphill above the Bacherntal valley to the Zsigmondyhütte (2,235 m) – one of the most beautiful viewpoints overlooking the Elferstock and the striking Zwölfer; from the hut, the marked high trail No. 101 leads westwards over stony, partly rocky terrain with a slight incline to the Oberbachernjoch, where keeping right leads quickly to the Büllelejochhütte (2,528 m) – the highest point of the tour.Tip: A short detour (approx. 30 minutes) to the summit cross of the Oberbachernspitze is well worth it – fantastic panoramic views included! From the Büllelejoch (2,522 m), the path leads steeply downhill across a scree field on the northern side, followed by a beautiful, almost level hiking section with an unobstructed view of the Dreischusterspitze, leading to the impressive Dreizinnenhütte (2,405 m) at the Toblinger Riedl; here, you can enjoy one of the most spectacular views of the Three Peaks – a must for all Dolomite lovers. The descent follows trail No. 102 in a northeasterly direction across the Bödenalm with its two idyllic lakes, then through the Altensteintal valley, dominated by the massive Einserkofel, back to the Talschlusshütte and finally to the parking lot at the Dolomitenhof.
