Accesso:

To reach Riva di Tures (Rein in Taufers) you have to abandon the national road nr. 49 (della Val Pusteria) in Brunek (Brunek) and then get the Valle Aurina (Ahrntal) road nr. 621 to reach Campo Tures (Sand in Taufers). From here you have to turn into the road of the valley of Riva, winding at the beginning and then narrow near the torrent, and, in the end, widening out in the pretty amusing plan of Riva, the only village of the whole valley.

Introduction

With this excursion one can discover the lonely Valley of Riva(Reintal) and to arrive to the presence of the steep iced summits ofthe group of Vedrette di Reis (Rieserferner). The walk is rather long an somehow exacting, but very profitable for the environment and the imposing scenaries of alpine landscapes among unknown tops. out of the mess of the big mountain intineraries. The wealth of water is enormous and easily you can meet wild animals,

Descrizione

From Riva di Tures (Rein in Taufers) the carriage road continues with bends entering the Valle dei Dossi until it reaches a bridge next to a parking site. It is necessary to continue taking the road going on the right and crossing the Knuttenbach. After a couple of km going up and leaving on the right a little group of houses (Ebnerhof) you arrive, in the wood, to a very little clearing near a sign indicating the path [8A] where the car must be lelft.(very little parking space!). The broad and easy path, starts the slope staying in the wood with coniferae and bushes of rhododendron. gaining altiude rather steeply in the valley side, among a thick vegetation. After neary half an hour of walk the path walk round the shore of a steep meadow and then goes up to reach the Unteren Kofleralm. From here, again winding with less incline, staying again in the wood and crossing several beautiful torrents, the walk leads to the bucolic big open space where the Oberen Kofleralmis built (2191 m.). The itinerary goes ahed having the landscape getting more and more wide in the direction of the great rocky and iced summits of the Vedrette di Reis (Rieserferner) going through clearances strewn with rare trees and dotted here and there with little pastures. The track, now lebel, is fitting exactly the form of the mountain, it crosses other torrents, heading decisively to the head of the valley. A last more steep slope in the direction of the terminal cirque, close to big rocky faces, drives to the delightful plan of the Urprungsalm (2396m). We are now on the geographical right of the river coming from the big glacier of the Collalto (Hochgall).
After a brief descent among grass and marshlands, a big circle towards right is started, always in direction of the terminal cirque reaching then the junction with the path nr. 8 coming directly from Riva di Tures (Rein in Taufers). The path (Hartdegen) goes ahead among big rocky blocks, detritus and large smoothy plates with some latches(beware of the snow, expecially during season starting!). After crossing the following little valley and going down owing to cross a deafening torrent on a woody bridge si scoprono finalmente le grandi pareti del Collalto (Hochgall). Il rifugio Roma è visibile all'altro lato del vallone e bisogna raggiungerlo percorrendo tutto il versante e aggirando la testata passando quindi sul lato opposto. Il percorso, ben segnato anche con numerosi ometti in pietra, divertente e panoramico comprende anche una discesa lungo una paretina facile ma attrezzata con corde e gradini. Attraversato l'ultimo grande torrente si prosegue con percorso più facile, sempre tra rada vegetazione e in leggera discesa fino a raggiungere il Rifugio Roma a 2274m (Kassler Hütte) della sezione di Roma del CAI.
Per rientrare a Riva di Tures (Rein in Taufers) si può seguire il normale itinerario (assai frequentato durante l'estate) segnato con il n°[1]. Numerose scorciatoie consentono di ridurre il tempo di discesa anche se vale la pena di soffermarsi, soprattutto nel mese di giugno, a osservare le straordinarie fioriture di rododendri lungo il cammino.
