Hiking in Vinschgau Valley

From Sulden to Tabaretta Refuge

Hiking in Sulden and in the surroundings of Mt. Ortler is a unforgettable experience. Maybe because of that Reinhold Messner – a famous alpinist – has opened there a museum called “Alpine Curiosa” where he shows everything about alpinism in the Ortler-area.

A special excursion is the one from Sulden to Hintergrat Refuge, K2 Refuge and finally to Tabaretta Refuge. Enjoy it!

Take path 1 and follow him until you arrive at Saubach Refuge and the middle station of the cable car at 2172 m above sea level. Here starts path 2. Take it and hike towards Hintergrat Refuge, passing idyllic mountain lakes.

After a short break you continue your excursion on path 3 until you reach Mt. Langenstein and the Refuge K2. From here you have an amazing view over the Vinschgau Valley. Take now path 10-4a and hike through a very various landscape until you get to the Tabaetta Refuge, the destination of this excursion on 2556 m above sea level. Here you can admire the great northern slope of Mt. Ortler. Breathtaking!
