Description of tour: The tour begins by the Alpine hut Schmieder. Take the gravel road as far as the Alpine hut Schönrast, and then go right, after the alpine hut, on the route to the Kösertal. Now continue straight on, following the signs for Neuhütt-Lavazè Nr.9, through shady pinewoods as far as Neuhütt, and on an almost level stretch further to the Alpine hut Auerleger. Cycle along the metalled road right, turning right by the forest pole up to the Lavazè road and further right to Jochgrimm (2000 m.) and as far as the Alpine hut Gurndin. To return take route Nr. 1 from Jochgrimm, through alternating meadows and woods as far as Neuhütt, then along the forest road to the Kösertal and back to the Alpine hut Schmieder.
Special tip: The Weisshorn is white sarl dolomite, the Schwarzhorn is reddish-green Bozen quartz porphyry. The reason for the very different nature of the neighbouring peaks is the so-called "Trudner line", a fault in the earth’s crust. Along this fault line the Schwarzhorn was pushed up over 1000 meters relative to the Weisshorn. The strata lying on the porphyry were carried away. As a result, the porphyry reaches the same height today as the much younger sarl dolomite.
