Ski tour to Mount Saxner

In order to get to the starting point of our ski tour, we drive to Racines (Ratschings) towards Vallettina (Flading), a hamlet of Racines di Dentro. The tour starts at a forested road that turns off in the place where the road to Vallettina starts descending. For about 20 minutes we walk along the the forested road towards south east, across the clear forest. Across another section in the forest we reach the free line and head for the open country (1,800 m a.s.l.).

Now we head for a striking hollow that shows us the right direction. In case of less secure conditions, be sure to walk on the back of the mountain. Once we reach the ridge, we continue on foot across towards the highest point of Mount Saxner, at 2,358 m a.s.l., providing a great view on the mountains of the Val Racines Valley and the Val Passiria valley.

Easy and not too long ski tour with nice slopes in the upper part!
