Directions

 From the Dreizinnenhütte hut, the well-signposted trail No. 101 leads towards Büllelejoch, running below the striking Paternkofel before a short climb to the pass begins. Directly at the pass, follow the signs to the left via a narrow path carved into the rock to reach the Büllelejochhütte hut, from where the path to Oberbachernjoch and the Zsigmondyhütte hut is signposted. Continue on trail No. 101 along steep rock flanks to the Oberbachernjoch and descend to the Zsigmondyhütte hut, followed by a long but easy descent into the Fischleintal valley via trail No. 103. After the Talschlusshütte hut, continue to the hotel Dolomitenhof, where a bus stop is located for those who prefer the public bus back to Sexten. Alternatively, turn left onto trail No. 1A after the Fischleinbodenhütte hut to return directly to Sexten on foot.
