By Train

Contact the CFF , for schedule and fare

Start  of the viaferrata

Small private toll road to the Birchlaui parking place, then 20 minutes on foot to the refuge. Or, from the cable-car station on the left after Furen, take the marked North-West trail to the Tallihutte cabin.

Climbing the Viaferrata

Start immediately with an impressive ladder. Afterwards, the slope is less steep leading to a towering rock-filled wall. The route worms its way between the rocks.

About a third of the way up you reach a cave with a small bench; sign the visitors’ book in the cave.

Further on you are again suspended from vertical ladders over the void.

Stay concentrated when you transfer from one ladder to the next…emotion guaranteed….

Descent

Descent of 500-600m towards the north.
Careful on the steep névés, they can be icy. Reckon on a good hour or so.

Then a more or less flat path to the south-west for another hour, followed by a climb to the Satteli pass (2119m) and finally down again to the Tallihutte in 45 minutes.
