You can easily reach Saltria by Almbus, from where you have a first beautiful view of the Plattkofel at 2,950m. First, follow the markings to Fassa Joch and the Refuge Plattkofelhütte at 2,305m.
Shortly after the hut, the path takes you first on a earthy trail, later on a gravel path, and partly through rocky terrain as you ascend to the summit. Along the way, you’ll have magnificent views and photo opportunities in all directions. Particularly, the view towards the southeast to Marmolata/Marmolada (3,343m), the highest and only glacier-covered massif in the Dolomites, dominates the scenery.
The descent follows the ascent route back to Plattkofelhütte, and then you’ll hike along the Friedrich August Weg to the Col Rodella mountain station, from where you can take the cable car to Campitello di Fassa.
