Sassolungo (Langkofel)
Saslonch / Langkofel
A giant rock massif at 3,181 meters, the star of the backdrop to Val Gardena and Alpe di Siusi, and a classic loop hike.
The highest peak of the Sassolungo (Langkofel) group reaches 3,181 meters. The massive square-shaped rock rises from the meadows and can be seen from Val Gardena, Alpe di Siusi and Sella Pass. The classic activity is the loop hike around Sassolungo (about 17 kilometers, 5–6 hours) starting from Sella Pass. Alternatively, take the upright “phone booth” cable car next to Sella Pass to the Toni Demetz hut at the Sassolungo saddle for a close look at the rock walls. The cable car runs in summer and costs about €20 one way, subject to on-site confirmation. The rocky path to the saddle is steep, so wear hiking boots.
Opening hours
Outdoors open all day; cable car runs approx. late June–Sep
