Snowshoe hike to the Rifugio Forcola - Description

The Furkelhütte mountain hut towers over Trafoi at an elevation of 2,153 m. Trail no. 17, which leads from Trafoi (near the lift station) to the Furkelhütte, is the classic option for winter and snowshoe hikes in the Trafoi area. It leads hikers on a two-hour excursion through a romantic forest setting to reach the hut. A renovated trench section shortly before the end of the trail provides a fascinating insight into the hard life endured by soldiers during WWI. The sun terrace boasts the best view of King Ortler and the surrounding mountain panorama – all the way through to the Stilfserjoch ridge. The return leg can also be completed via a 20-minute ride on the chairlift.
