ブリクセン-ブレッサノーネの峠・トップ20

The pass is beautifully nestled between the rolling meadows of Lüsen to the north and the Pütia meadows with the steep walls of the eponymous mountain (Sas de Pütia / Peitlerkofel) to the south. From here, you have access to one of South Tyrol's most precious natural landscapes:

Be careful when hiking up from val di Funes side. The path is not clear. Most probably landslide continues. It doesn't look like on pictures anymore.

I went up last weekend, and the path is nothing like it looks in the pictures. There must have been a massive rockslide in the last few months. Doable for experienced climbers or even those with via ferrata experience, but you still have to be careful; there are lots of loose rocks and few adequate places to hold on.

Trail No. 6 through the Panascharte Pass has been closed until further notice since August 2020 due to the risk of rockfall. The Brogles Hut can still be reached via trail No. 5 through the Cuecena Valley (1 hour 30 minutes from the Furnes middle station).

The roads to the Passo delle Erbe are a joy to ride from both Villnöß and Lüsen. They are generally quiet (especially from Lüsen) and generally have a good surface for a fast descent. From the Passo delle Erbe, you have beautiful views of the Peiterkofel and the Italian Dolomites. There are also plenty of opportunities to refill your water bottles and provisions up here. If you're planning a loop, I recommend not choosing the descent via Lüsen, as the asphalt is poorer there and, even in dry weather, is often wet with small streams. The route also often crosses wooden bridges, which overall diminishes the enjoyment of a fast road bike descent. However, this isn't a problem on the ascent.

It's quite challenging and not entirely safe because of falling rocks. I saw several rock falls. When descending southwards, it's easy to get off the path and end up on loose rubble. Be careful and only hike if you're experienced!

Pana Scharte is and remains closed until further notice.
