The hut Rifugio Fanes (2060 m) is an ideal entry point for a lot of peaks interesting for every ski-tourer. We decided for the peak Zehner Spitze (3026 m) as our second trip in the Dolomites. It is possible to reach altitute approximately 3000 meters on skins. The summit itself can be reached through the via ferrata. The overall altitude difference of this trip is just little over 1000 meters.
