The Sentiero Italia moves from the Latemar massif of the Dolomites to the nearby Rosengarten/Rosengarten massif with this rather long stage, which is characterised by a discreet difference in altitude. From the Alpe di Pampeago on path [9], you reach the Reiterjoch, before continuing on path [9] to Obereggen. Continue on path [9] and then on path [8] to reach the legendary Lake Carezza. Crossing the new suspension bridge you reach path [6], which leads to a mill, from where path [9] takes you directly to the foot of the Catinaccio. Via trail [552] and trail [549] (Hirzelsteig) we continue to the stage destination, the Kölner Hütte.
