Description

We start at the information board in Fadretsch. After we have crossed the historic stone bridge over the Rein da Medel we go up to the pretty chapel in Pali. At the beginning the gradient is still moderate, but soon the signs show us that we simply have to somehow get the altitude to the Maiensässen in Plauns behind us. Afterwards we walk in the shade for a while, but that doesn't spoil our experience. The winter forest is magical and we make easy progress on the snow-covered alpine road. After the last pine trees we try to maintain the altitude and reach the lower hut of Tegia Nova in an arc. We settle in for a long break on the sunny south side. The descent to Platta, through forest and open spaces, makes us cheer. We let the snow fall under our shoes! Somersaults are also allowed!

Geheimtipp

The tour can basically be done in both directions. From Curaglia, however, the ascent is a little easier.

And if you like, you can make a detour to Alp Pazzola.

Sicherheitshinweis

From Platta you can return to Curaglia by postbus. On foot about 30 minutes on the main road.

The route is signposted, but those who are not familiar with the area are advised to print out the topo map for the tour and carry it with them.

Ausrüstung

Safety equipment is only necessary to a limited extent on the marked path (avalanche transceiver, shovel, probe)

Directions

At the parish hall in Curaglia we follow the signs to Fadretsch, where there is an information board about the snowshoe trails. Now the signposted trail with the number 610 leads us to the Maiensässen in Plauns, and on to the hill Stagias. We turn left and stay on the route until we reach the forest, where the next junction is located. Turn left. After the last fir trees, keep the height over a field and in an arc to the lower hut Tegia Nova. Follow the signpost for the descent. In the forest we always find poles as markers that show us the way down to Platta.
