Description
From Wergenstein (1486 m) steeply westward up to the Maiensässhütten of Dumagns (1823 m). Here you cross the steep NE slopes of Val da Larisch to the stream valley descending from Alp Tumpriv. North of this stream valley, climb up to Alp Tumpriv (2190 m) and over a steep section southwestwards to the flat ridge back of Tguma P. 2402. From here, traverse with little elevation loss above a rock band towards southwest into the valley floor of Plan Darmeras (approx. 2350 m). Between the two streams, climb into Valletta and north of P. 2674 turn right over a short steep section into the hollow north of P. 2790. Turn right between rock bands up to Gelbhorn.
From Gelbhorn, descend the steep E-SE slope down to the shoulder of P. 2792. From there, pass southwest of the Muttolta to Farcletta digl Lai Grand (2660 m). Then descend into the plains south of Lai Grand (2450 m). From there, traverse under the steep NE slopes of Pizzas d’Anarosa towards southeast over P 2475 and climb to Farcletta digl Lai Pintg (2585 m). Now descend eastwards to the Cufercalhütte SAC (2385 m).
