The climb to the lake, as far as the peak of the Monte Piana is binding, and reaches the middle station of the old military cableway. It goes then uphill along the deep valley north-eastwards.The fastest descent is along the path n. 103, which leads to Val Rinbianco.

Back again you have to enter the path n. 103 as far as the junction, where, on the right you can see the path to Forcella del Castrade. Keep the main track: in about 30 minutes you will reach the Casèra di Rinbianco. Here you have to turn into the path n. 6.
- Climb to Monte Piana along the "Tourist path" | 3 hours (for expert excursionists)

From the Vallandro Hut or from Pratopiazza, cross the whole Dürrenstein-Alpe, and then turn right as far as you reach the peak, where a cross has been erected.
