Monte Collaspro and Monte Magro, the third highest peaks of the Vedrette di Ries group, are both 3,273 m high. Monte Nevoso, the second highest peak of the mountain range, is directly connected to Monte Magro by a crest and can be admired from the valle Anterselva.
The first ascent to monte Magro in the Vedrette di Ries-Aurina nature park dates back to 1878. A well-known summer and winter hike starts in Riva di Tures and takes hikers up to the summit by leading past the rifugio Roma hut and the northeastern crest. In winter this hike can be made with snowshoes or skis. The glacier of Monte Magro is rather flat and despite being more than 3,000 m high, it is known for being technically easy to ascend. An alternative route to Monte Magro leads past the Vedrette di Ries hut in the municipality of Campo Tures, the birthplace of the famous alpinist Hans Kammerlander.
On the peak above 3,000 m in the Vedrette di Ries group you can enjoy a wonderful panoramic view of the biathlon centre of Anterselva and the famous Dolomites.
