The starting point of the hike is the "Dreizinnenblick" (Lago di Landro) near Toblach. The steep rock face of Monte Piana rises behind Lake Dürrensee. The trail to the summit winds along this impressive rock wall. Hikers should definitely be free from vertigo and sure-footed for this tour. Some sections of the path are secured with cables. Once the tree line is reached, the trail crosses the massif over rocky terrain and ascends via stone steps towards the summit cross.

After about 5 km and 900 meters of elevation, hikers reach the surprisingly flat summit plateau of Monte Piana, which looks quite different from the lake. The route first leads over rocky terrain, then across green meadows to the second peak, Monte Piano. Along the way, hikers pass an open-air museum dedicated to World War I.

The descent follows the "Tourist Trail," which leads steeply down to Lake Dürrensee and back to the parking lot.

Alternatively, both peaks can be reached via an easier route from Lake Antorno, following the forest road.
