The starting point of our ski tour is the hamlet of Longiarù in the municipality of San Martino in Badia towards Juwel. Coming from San Martino we drive through the Valle dei Mulini which is particularly known for its ancient settlements called Viles. Here we take path no. 9 and head through the forest towards south. At a fork we turn right and follow the signpost "Zwischenkofel-Antersasc-Puez" which takes us into a valley.

Slowly but steadily we approach the rock walls of the Puez group. Shortly before reaching Malga Antersasc at 2,085 m a.s.l. we branch off right and follow the path towards north where we need to cross several basins and hills. After reaching a rather large pass we get closer to the highest point of Cima Dodici (2,384 m a.s.l.) with its summit cross. Sasso Putia and the Cime del Puez appear closer than they are. The view of the Sasso Croce group is truly impressive.

For our descent we retrace our steps. Those who are not satisfied with conquering one peak can climb up to another one by following the instructions below: descend to Malga Antersasc (Zwischenkofelalm), attach your ski skins and keep to the left during the ascent to Cima Antersasc (2,471 m a.s.l.) - two peaks in one tour.

Note: this rather easy ski tour is suitable also for beginners. The slopes are moderately steep but do not present any technical difficulties. In spring the upper part of the mountain is covered with firn snow whereas powder snow can be found in the forest in the lower part of the mountain. Unfortunately we couldn't find either of them but only hard-packed snow.
