Piz da Uridl, Ciaulong, Sass Fendu, Plan de Cunfin - these names reveal that we are in the heart of the Ladin speaking area. In Saltria on the Alpe di Siusi we purchase a one-way ticket for the Florian chair lift which takes us to the 400-metre higher Rifugio Williams. This ride saves us an almost 90-minute walk. From here, we take path no. 9A to the Capanna Marmotta hut. We then proceed along path no. 527 northwards, to the Sasso Piatto. At the Piz da Uridl high plateau, the path runs along the upper part of the Plan de Cunfin area.
We arrive at a crossroads near the Rifugio Vicenza hut. However, instead of walking to the hut, we turn onto path no. 526 towards the Comici hut. We climb the steps to the Ciaulong saddle where we enjoy an enchanting panoramic view ranging from the Alpe di Siusi to a part of the Val Gardena and the Puez-Odle group.
At the foot of the Sassolungo (3,181 m a.s.l.) we follow the signposts for the paths no. 526 and no. 526A passing the Col de Mesdi and the Sass Fendu, from where our itinerary merges into path no. 528. The latter takes us back to the Monte Pana high plateau at 1,700 m a.s.l. From there, we take path no. 30 to return to Saltria where we parked our car.
