View of the Sassolungo Group

Highlight • Viewpoint

This point is nice to see the smaller peaks, such as the Grohmanns- and Fünffingerpitze, but the Marmolada on the opposite side is also impressive. The more unknown peaks, such as Zahnkofel, Innerkofler Tower and of course, are also visible on the further path the Plattkofel itself.

Highlight • Mountain Pass

The name Sasso Lungo means long stone/rock. The Sasso Lungo is the highest mountain in the Val Gardena Dolomites and has a wall over 1000 m high facing the Val Gardena valley. It lies on the border between South Tyrol and Trentino.

Plattkofel / Sasso Piatto Summit

Highlight • Summit

Sassopiatto is the peak that actually separates Val Gardena from Val di Fassa. Its summit, at almost 3000 meters above sea level, offers a splendid panorama of the nearby Sassolungo, the Marmolada group and the Catinaccio. The normal route, which develops along the wide and stony east face, with never excessive and always constant slopes, does not present any technical difficulty and is therefore very popular. The path, marked with red stamps and stone cairns, climbs with steep hairpin bends, without pauses and without the possibility of error. Some 1st degree passages invite you to use your hands. At the end, go around the ridge on the right until you reach the outlet from which the historic Oskar Schuster via ferrata ascends. After passing the notch you arrive at the summit cross via easy rocks (1h from the Sasso Piatto refuge with a good pace). Below us the impressive precipice that separates from the long blade of rock of the Sassolungo. Fantastic views on Punta Grohmann and Innerkofler allow you to glimpse Piz Boè and the Marmolada, while across the board the panorama runs from Val Gardena to the Odle, from the Alpe di Siusi to the Denti di Terra Rossa to the Catinaccio, from Lagorai to the Monzoni.

NOTES: normal route uphill with dog on a leash.

View of Marmolada

Highlight • Viewpoint

"O Marmoleda ti es regina" - for the Ladin people it is the queen of the Dolomites.
The glacier has shrunk considerably. 100 years ago the ice reached down to the mountain pine zone. During the great battles from 1915 to 1917, the legendary ice town was located in the glacier.

View of the Sassolungo Group

Highlight • Viewpoint

At this point, just before crossing the bed of a small stream on a small wooden bridge, the view of the Sassolungo group is simply breathtaking. The green grassy slopes bring out the austere beauty of the Dolomite walls.

It's the first refuge you come across if you arrive in the morning. You can't miss the krapfen that they churn out in industrial quantities.

July 25, 2024,DAV Solingen: Dolomiten - Über den Oskar-Schuster-Steig auf den Langkofel

Today we treated ourselves to the curious little sardine can cable car up to the gap to save some energy.

From the Demetz Hut we first went back down to the Langkofel Hut. We were among the first here today. Then came the rather arduous climb to the start of the Oskar Schuster Trail, which as a classic alpine trail …

July 28, 2021,Dolomiten | Plattkofel & Oskar Schuster Steig

As a prelude to the route, the "Eierseilbahn" (Sellajochhaus) was used for the first meters in altitude. A small can of sardines with a lot of luggage cannot be compared. But one experience defends everyone. Once at the top of the Rifugio Toni Demetz, the first descent to the Rifugio Vicenza (Langkofelhütte) began. After a short break to eat, we …

June 25, 2025,Bergtour Sella Joch - Klettersteig Furcela Saslonch - Oskar Schuster Steig - Sellajoch

Two via ferratas of different character in one tour: the ferrata to the Furcela de Saslonch, which was only established in 2021, and the "old" Oskar Schuster Steig. While the newer ferrata, with its numerous footholds (most difficult section rated C), leans more towards a sport via ferrata, the ascent to the Sassopiatto offers plenty of room for real climbing …

After the weather was mixed today, I chose a tour a little further west. Except for a few drops at the summit, it remained dry. And there was sun too, just not at the summit.
The start was at the sinfully expensive parking lot at the Sellajoch (16.50 euros). We went via the Ferrata Furcela de Saslonch (C) to the …

September 7, 2023,Langkofel-Durchschreitung übern Plattkofel 2958m

Today we went across the Sassolungo massif.
First we took the rustic single-cabin cable car up the Lamgkofelscharte to the Toni Demetz Hut. There we did a short but tough C via ferrata (FERRATA FURCELA DE SASLONCH).
Afterwards we descended to the Sassolungo hut where we had a delicious apple strudel to fortify us.
Further up the gap on the …

An exciting and challenging tour to the Plattkofel via the Oskar Schuster via ferrata! The path begins at the Plattkofel hut and leads over scree fields and steep rock sections into the fascinating world of the Dolomites. The via ferrata itself offers well-secured passages with ropes and ladders. Once you reach the top, you are rewarded with a magnificent 360° …

Spectacular conclusion to our four-day tour through the Dolomites. After the first two days of the tour deviated somewhat from the original plan due to the weather, the weather and conditions on the third day were perfect and the "Langkofelscharte via ferrata" and the breathtaking landscape and view that the great route offered us were an absolute highlight. But all …
