Scheiberkogel/Cima Rocciosa m 3135
Scheiberkogel/Cima Rocciosa m 3135 is a summit belonging to Alpi Venoste di Levante (Ötztaler Alpen), supgroup Alpi Passirie (Ötztaler Hauptkamm), located to the East of the main alpine watershed on which it runs the Italian-Austrian border. For that reason this fine summit is fully included in the Italian territory, Bolzano Alto-Adige province. The exact location of this summit is between Rotmooskogel/Cima di Plan 3335 m and Trinkerkogel/Cima Snella 3161 m. Notwithstanding its altitude overcoming the 3000 meters, Scheiberkogel/Cima Rocciosa is considered as a minor summit, but actually it's interesting to be climbed from Refuge Plan along the easy and panoramic South Ridge.
The location close to the Refuge Plan makes Scheiberkogel/Cima Rocciosa quite popular from this side, also as a complementary second goal after the Normal route to the nearby Cima delle Anime/Hinterer Seelenkogel. The two climbs can easily be combined starting from the shelter.
