I always knew I wanted to do it in the Fall to avoid the crowds, and I finally managed to tick it off during my last autumn visit.

class=\"gb-container gb-container-67e926eb\">\n\n<p>D\u00fcrrenstein or in Italian Picco di Vallandro is a mountain in the Fanes-Sennes-Braies Nature Park in the South Tirol region of the Italian Dolomites. You must have heard of <a href=\"https:\/\/inafarawayland.com\/lago-di-braies-visitor-information\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"657\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Lago Di Braies<\/a>, the park&#8217;s most famous landmark.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The summit of Picco di Vallandro has 360-degree views over the surrounding peaks. To the north, the snow-covered Austrian Alps stretch for kilometres.&nbsp;To the east, you can spot Tre Cime \u2013&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/inafarawayland.com\/best-photography-spots-italian-dolomites\/\">the iconic Dolomiti photo spot<\/a>.&nbsp;My favourite, however, is the view of the Monte Cristallo range to the south. Monte Cristallo is home to two iconic Dolomiti via ferratas:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/inafarawayland.com\/via-ferrata-marino-bianchi\/\">Marino Bianchi<\/a>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/inafarawayland.com\/via-ferrata-ivano-dibona\/\">Ivano Dibona.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s certainly not the most leisurely hike, but the trail is straightforward, thanks to the good boot-beaten path. The challenge comes with sun exposure. The Dolomites can get pretty hot during summer, and hiking all day in a 20-30-degree sun can be exhausting. That\u2019s one of the reasons why I decided to postpone the D\u00fcrrenstein hike until autumn.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another obstacle is the summit push. Some chains are installed between the two summits. If you are uncomfortable with scrambling, you can turn around on the first summit and skip the chains altogether.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n<section class=\"gb-container gb-container-a0101494\">\n\n<h3 class=\"gb-headline gb-headline-2f818876\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_map_elevation_profile_of_the_hike\"><\/span><span class=\"gb-icon\"><svg viewBox=\"0 0 180 180\" version=\"1.1\" id=\"Layer_1\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><defs><style>.st0,.st1{fill:none;stroke:#000;stroke-width:10px}.st0{stroke-linejoin:round}.st1{stroke-miterlimit:10}<\/style><\/defs><path class=\"st1\" d=\"M116.39 31.27c0 19.55-26.35 38.77-26.35 38.77S63.69 50.66 63.69 31.27c0-14.55 11.8-26.35 26.35-26.35s26.35 11.8 26.35 26.35Z\"><\/path><path class=\"st0\" d=\"m90.38 173.98-44.6-18.25-39.12 18.39 11.39-85.9 33.76-18.18 38.57 16.75v87.19z\"><\/path><path class=\"st0\" d=\"m90.36 173.98 44.6-18.25 39.12 18.39-11.39-85.9-33.77-18.18-38.56 16.75M45.78 155.73l6.03-85.69M134.96 155.73l-6.04-85.69\"><\/path><circle class=\"st1\" r=\"9.59\" cy=\"31.73\" cx=\"90.03\"><\/circle><\/svg><\/span><span class=\"gb-headline-text\">The map &amp; elevation profile of the hike<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n<div class=\"gb-container gb-container-884dd659\">\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.komoot.com\/tour\/2612472557\/embed?share_token=amCCeVBNYt57mXipjyAueT5RfMlDD4h3BXudyesmgPzI1PmBg2&#038;profile=1\" width=\"1200\" height=\"700\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n<section class=\"gb-container gb-container-04587563\">\n\n<h3 class=\"gb-headline gb-headline-13a247f5\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Important_info_about_the_hike\"><\/span><span class=\"gb-icon\"><svg viewBox=\"0 0 180 180\" version=\"1.1\" id=\"Layer_1\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><defs><style>.st0{stroke-linejoin:round;fill:none;stroke:#000;stroke-width:10px}<\/style><\/defs><path class=\"st0\" d=\"M90.04 10.84c-43.37 0-78.52 35.15-78.52 78.51 0 21.47 8.62 40.91 22.59 55.09l-.06-.04-5.63 30.5 26.62-15.25-.08-.06a78.18 78.18 0 0 0 35.07 8.27c43.36 0 78.52-35.15 78.52-78.51S133.4 10.84 90.04 10.84Z\"><\/path><circle class=\"st0\" r=\"13.77\" cy=\"44.77\" cx=\"89.18\"><\/circle><path d=\"M111.75 96.13V76.1H68.92v20.03h8.82v24.4h-8.82v22.03H111.75v-22.03h-8.82v-24.4h8.82z\" stroke-width=\"10\" stroke-miterlimit=\"10\" stroke=\"#000\" fill=\"none\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span><span class=\"gb-headline-text\">Important info about the hike<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n<div class=\"gb-container gb-container-8c2c56e6\">\n\n<p>You can hike Durrenstein as late as October.

One is free of charge and close to the rifugio Prato Piazza, only a few meters from the trailhead. To reach it, you will need to take the toll road; more on that soon. The second one is 6 kilometres lower at the Br\u00fcckele\/Ponticello Parking area (paid), near Alpin Natur Hotel Br\u00fcckele.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The road to Rifugio Prato Piazza is very windy and narrow. If you are uncomfortable driving on these roads, you should also use the shuttle.&nbsp;Large campervans are not allowed on that road. If you drive an RV, leave it in the bottom parking lot and use the shuttle bus.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"gb-container gb-container-defae52a\">\n<div class=\"gb-container gb-container-89b058e0\">\n\n<h4 class=\"gb-headline gb-headline-30c206c4 gb-headline-text\">By bus<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>From the first week of June until the start of November, shuttle bus no. 443 runs between the two parking lots at 30-minute intervals.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The&nbsp;departure stop is&nbsp;<strong>Ausserprags (Prags) Br\u00fcckele,&nbsp;<\/strong>and the arrival stop is&nbsp;<strong>Ausserprags (Prags)&nbsp;Pl\u00e4tzwiese.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Check the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.suedtirolmobil.info\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">S\u00fcd Tirol Mobil<\/a>&nbsp;website for departure times.&nbsp;The bus starts the run from Monguelfo, Villabassa, and Dobiacco.
