Our hike starts at the valley station of the Corno del Renon Skiing Area (parking space, bus stop), located in the hamlet of Pemmern on the beautiful Renon high plateau. The asphalt road no. 7 proceeds towards Gissmann - after a 30-minute walk the path no. 4 branches off on the right. It leads up to Mt. Corno del Renon (Rittner Horn), through a landscape characterised by forests and alpine meadows. The higher we get, the more the view opens up and we reach the snow-covered meadows on the Schön. We continue our hike towards Mt. Corno di Sotto (Unterhorn) where the hiking paths, ski runs and lift facilities meet.
Two rest points invite to stop and refuel with new energy: the Corno di Sotto and the Feltuner Mountain Huts. Most of the ascent is done, so we stop for lunch. Afterwards we follow the panorama trail uphill towards the summit of Mt. Corno del Renon. The winter wonderland and the perfect weather are only topped by the breathtaking view on the surroundings, including the Ortles Alps, the Adamello Mountain Group, the Dolomites and the Alpine divide.
Behind the transmission tower and the Corno del Renon Mountain Hut (closed in winter) we follow the panorama trail on the eastern side of the ski run to the Corno di Sotto Mountain Hut and further on to Mt. Cima Lago Nero (Schwarzseespitze, path no. 19). A 11 km long hike, 800 m of altitude difference and 4 hours of walking time lie behind us - so we decide to take the cable car to turn back to Pemmern, our starting point on the Renon high plateau.
