Alpinism

Drawing by Anton P. Heilmann : The Ampezzaner Cristallkopf

The summit of Son Forca ( 2200 m ), where the valley station of the gondola lift to the Forcella Staunies is located today, appears to be a particularly striking rock tower . This sight aroused the mountaineering interest of summer guests like Loránd Eötvös . A. Angerer undertook the first ascent in 1886 together with Michel Innerkofler , who hired himself as a mountain guide in Schluderbach . At that time, the mountain was known as the high peak of the Cresta Bianca , later as the Ampezzaner Cristallkopf or Fourth Cristallkopf (according to its rank as the fourth highest peak in the Cristallo group). As can be seen from the records of W. Eckerth, there was a small glacier in the rubble channel west of the rock formation. Eckerth and Innerkofler approached the summit above this in 1885 to clarify the question of its height.

Ascent

The ascent is from the mountain station of the gondola to the Forcella Staunies ( 2918 m ) or from the nearby Rifugio Guido Lorenzi . After crossing a tunnel, a suspension bridge and some ladders on the Sentiero Ivano Dibona , an easy via ferrata ( B ), you reach the highest point of the climb at 2985 m . After a short descent, there is the signposted junction to the summit, which can be easily climbed in a quarter of an hour along safety devices.
