Love local

This route combines everything we love about cycling: steady climbs, huts with great views and the feeling of being on the top of the world. Decide along the way how ambitious you want to be -  whether to continue on to the Nesselhütte and Gitschhütte or simply take it easy. As for the view from the Gitschhütte at an altitude of 2,210 metres? Wow factor every time.

The starting point is the free car park at the Maranza cable car. From there, a wide path leads to the Pichlerhütte. If you wish, you can continue to the Nesselhütte and up to the Gitschhütte. On the way back, you pass the Pichlerhütte once again before heading towards the Bacherhütte and through the Valle di Altafossa. 
Duration: approx. 4 hours, length: approx. 16 km, altitude difference: approx. 950 m, difficulty: medium.
