Cevedale, Sulden

Monte Cevedale is a perfect ski touring mountain for spring! Large glaciers spread out on all sides, and thanks to the cable cars in Sulden, this high mountain range around the most famous mountains in South Tyrol, the Königsspitze and the Ortler, is easily accessible. Our destination is the idyllically situated Branca hut, a wonderful starting point for solitary, magnificent ski tours. In winter, this hut is less frequented, as most ski tourers climb the Cevedale from the Marteller hut. Our variant is a varied circular tour via the Rifugio Pizzini to the Branca hut. A route with spectacular views and impressive landscapes. The couple at the Branca hut are incredibly welcoming, and it is here that we spend a few nights to really immerse ourselves in nature and enjoy the wonderful ski tours right on the doorstep.
