The Heiligkreuzkofel ( Ladin Sas dla Crusc , also Rosskofel or L Ćiaval , Italian Sasso di Santa Croce ) is a 2907  m slm high mountain in the Fanes group in the Dolomites . It borders the South Tyrolean Gadertal on the east side and is part of the Fanes-Senes-Braies nature park . Below the west wall are the pilgrimage church Heilig Kreuz and the Heiligkreuz hospice shelter .

From the pilgrimage church or from the Fanes plateau on the other side of the mountain, a marked high-alpine transition leads to the Kreuzkofelscharte ( 2612  m ). From the saddle, the summit is easily accessible from the south along the western slopes over rubble .

Summit construction from the south

In the western walls of the Heiligkreuzkofel there are climbing routes of well-known alpinists such as Georges Livanos , Sepp Mayerl, Albert Precht , Reinhard Schiestl , Prem Darshano , Heinz Mariacher , Luisa Iovane and Christoph Hainz .

The central pillar , opened by Reinhold and Günther Messner in 1968, is particularly important , one of the most difficult routes at the time. At that time it was rated VI (the UIAA scale was a closed scale at that time), today it is VII +. Heinz Mariacher succeeded in repeating this route for the first time in 1978, but with an easier (VII-) bypassing the key point. The first free repetition of the key point was not made until 1988 by Andreas Orgler and Otti Wiedmann.

Other modern routes are Loss lei, heb schun (IX-), Jugendliebe (VIII), Friedl-Mutschlechner- / Carlo -Großrubatscher-Gedächtnisweg by Christoph Hainz and A. Oberbacher (7b +) and Auf die Felsen, ihr Apen (7a) as well from Hainz.
