Vacances dans le Val Venosta

A famous peak on the border between Graubünden and Vinschgau, which is one of the most beautiful panoramic peaks in the upper Vinschgau. However, an absolute head for heights is the prerequisite for reaching the summit.

This ski-tour starts at the Lake Gioveretto, from there you follow the path no. 10 to the managed Malga Lyfi. There you pass the mountain hut on your right and continue through the forest by following the same signposting until the junction of paths. When you reach the "Lyfiknott", a wonderful snow-covered winter landscape awaits you. From there the way is steep and demanding, but when you reach the Lyfi Peak, you have a wonderful view over the snow-covered Val Venosta.

The bus takes you up to Matsch. An idyllic historic irrigation canal hike leads into the beautiful "Matschertal" valley. While the path through the larch forest is easy in the first section of the day, the last two kilometers of this stage are quite a challenge. The path winds its way up to the refuge "Oberettes" in serpentines.
From the village center (several stops possible), the bus runs hourly to the mountaineering village of Matsch - the starting point for this stage, even the journey to Matsch offers special views over the Upper Vinschgau Valley and King Ortler. From the romanesque hilltop village of Matsch, the hike starts with the historic irrigation canal "Ackerwaal" (no. 11), an easy 7km trail through flowering mountain meadows to the end of the valley at the "Glieshöfe" farms, which invite you to take a short break. The route continues along "Herrensteig" trail no. 1 through larch forest, always ascending and later via serpentines, approx. 6 km and 870 meters in altitude up to the refuge "Oberettes" at 2670 m and thus the destination of this stage.

A strenuous but very rewarding summit tour. You have an overwhelming panoramic view.

The path from the Oberetteshütte via the "Tabernackel" up to the highest point "little Tibet" to the "Saldur" lakes may be strenuous but is worth every effort. The view is magnificent and the silence and untouched nature is good for you. Follow trail no. 4 over the highest lake plateau in the Alps past several small and large Saldur lakes. After the last lake, the trail descends steeply to the end of the valley to the lush meadows of the old "Matscher Alm".

The path runs through light larch and Swiss stone pine (Pinus cembra) stands, across flowering alpine lawns and leads in the imposing rocky zone through a plateau with stone-men as an orientation aid, the "Steinmann Gasseloch". If there is strong wind, organ pipes are said to sound there, hence the Martell name "Orgelspitze". Via a pathless but well marked blocky summit, one reaches the highest point at 3305m.

The Val Venosta Alpine Ridgeway (Vinschger Höhenweg) in the Lower Vinschgau valley, from Stava/Staben to the source of the Etsch river at the Reschen Pass where three countries meet, is a true experience for passionate hikers. The stretch totals 108 km and follows existing and new footpaths, paths alongside "Waale" (historic irrigation canals) and connecting roads between farms.

The Alpine Ridgeway unites various stages that can be hiked as part of a multi-day tour or as a one-day excursion. The individual stages are easily accessible via access points in the villages in the valley. In order to help hikers keep their bearings, the entire Alpine Ridgeway is marked with a uniform red logo.

It is a truly remarkable experience to hike through the species-rich vegetation and impressive world of nature that could not be more filled with contrast. The trails on the Sonnenberg mountain feature diverse vegetation such as steppe grass and herbs. They also offer exciting views of the highest mountains in South Tyrol and the fertile valley below.

The best time for the hike is from April to October, although one should be aware that it can be very hot in summer.

Tip: special rates for the Val Venosta Alpine Ridgeway are available (B&B including luggage transport, hiking map of the ridgeway, return transport to the starting point).
