Through remote high mountains and up to the highest peak in Trentino – mighty glaciers and stunning spring snow await you.
Cevedale, South Tyrol – Trentino
Monte Cevedale is a brilliant ski-touring mountain for spring! Vast glaciers stretch out on all sides. Thanks to the cable cars in Sulden, this high-altitude mountain range – home to South Tyrol’s most famous peaks, the Königsspitze and the Ortler – is easily accessible. Our destination is the idyllically situated Branca Hut, a wonderful starting point for secluded, spectacular ski tours. In winter, this hut is rarely visited, as most ski tourers ascend Cevedale from the Marteller Hut. Our route offers a varied circular tour via the Rifugio Pizzini to the Branca Hut – a trail with spectacular views and stunning landscapes. The couple who run the Branca Hut manage the place with incredible warmth and hospitality. This is exactly where we’ll be spending several nights, so we can truly immerse ourselves in nature and enjoy the magnificent tours right on our doorstep.
We’ll meet in Sulden. It’s worth arriving the evening before. Alternatively, we can meet at 9.00 am in Zernez and carpool to Sulden.
We take the ski lifts up to over 2,500 metres. From there, we begin our days of ski touring with a leisurely ascent via the Suldenspitze. From the summit, we ski down to the Rifugio Pizzini, where we’ll be spending the night.
Today we’ll be crossing the imposing Monte Pasquale. On the north side, we’ll make our way across a spectacular glacier to the prominent summit. If we time it right, we’ll be in for a perfect slush run. We’ll round off the afternoon on the sunny terrace of the Rifugio Branca. We’ll be spending the next three nights here!
From Rifugio Branca, some magnificent tours await us – across north-facing slopes with impressive glaciers to stunning ski touring peaks. We’ll select the best peaks based on the current conditions, enjoy the ascent, carve some fantastic turns in the slush and recharge our batteries in the remote mountain wilderness! Depending on the route, there may be short sections where we’ll have to take our skis off. If the weather is more favourable on one of the middle days, we can also bring forward the tour to Monte Cevedale.
On the final day, we’ll be tackling the Monte Cevedale crossing – a real gem. The summit experience is crowned by a spectacularly long descent into the valley. It is only once we reach the snow line that we take the cable car down to Sulden.
We finish the tour days together in Sulden and travel back to Switzerland individually or in car pools.
Bergschaft tours and courses are conducted in German as standard. However, our mountain guides speak good English, as do many of the participants. If you speak English, you are of course very welcome. Depending on the tour, it may be worth asking us in advance whether the guide and the group are comfortable speaking English.
