Details

Description

While night skiers and tobogganers enjoy rapid descents further down (between the ford and Maienberg), the marked Furt-Gaffia ski slope is accessible to ski tourers. The starting point is the ford, which can be easily reached with the Wangs gondola. There, around 311 metres of ascent to the Mugghütte at 1,833 m above sea level await you. Once you arrive at your destination, you will be rewarded with a view of the snow-covered winter landscape and a fabulous sea of lights high above the Rhine Valley. The descent is via the regular slope. The night ski touring slope on the Pizol is the ideal combination of training, nature experience and views.

Geheimtipp

During night skiing and tobogganing, when the night ski touring slopes are accessible, various restaurants are open on the ford in the evening.

Sicherheitshinweis

From 22:00 the slope is closed for safety reasons for the slope preparation!

From avalanche level 3 onwards, tour tickets are no longer sold in Wangs!
