Image gallery: Sasso Nero
The Sasso Nero (Schwarzenstein in German) overlooks the border between South Tyrol and East Tyrol (Austria) and is delimited by the Valle Aurina in the south. Between the ridges of this mountain extend several glaciated areas. The first ascension on the Sasso Nero was made in 1852 from the Valle Aurina.
Today, the summit can be reached from Ginzling in the Zillertal valley (North Tyrol) or from Lutago in the Valle di Tures e Aurina. A 1.5 hour hike to the summit leads past the Rif. Vittorio Veneto al Sasso Nero mountain hut (2,922 m a.s.l.) and the Rotbachkees.
In the surroundings of the 3,369-m high Sasso Nero in the Zillertal Alps rise the Grosser Mörchner (3,283 m a.s.l.), the Floitenspitzen and Monte Lovello (Grosser Löffler, 3,379 m a.s.l.).
