Wandertipps

Beautiful circular hike that passes by the Gardenaccia refuge to reach the Puez refuge. You take the Gardenaccia chairlift from La Villa and the trail starts from the top station. You arrive at the Gardenaccia refuge and from there you take trail No. 11. The main stop is the Puez refuge.

From La Villa we take the Gardenaccia chairlift. We follow the trail marker no. 5 which takes us to the Gardenaccia Refuge. We then follow trail marker no. 1A heading north and continue to walk gently uphill through alpine meadows, where aromatic plants and alpine stars bloom. On the left, massive rock formations rise, while on the right there is the valley. After more than an hour of walking from the refuge, we can already see the cross at the summit of Col Plö Alt.

From La Villa, you take the Gardenaccia chairlift. After that, you take trail number 5 or number 11 to the Gardenaccia refuge (about 45 minutes). From the refuge, you take trail 5, which is easy in the first part but then becomes more challenging and exposed until reaching the Sassongher pass. From here, you take trail number 7 to the summit of Sassongher. Not suitable for those who suffer from vertigo.

To the left of the station at the top of the Gardenaccia chairlift, take the trail no. 11/B. A beautiful flat path of about 15 minutes takes us to a pass on the right. We ascend along the winding path until we reach the Gardenaccia refuge after about 30 minutes.

From the station at the top of the Gardenaccia ski lift (1782 m), you head north, then take the path No. 5 to the left, which winds steeply through the dwarf pines up to a small saddle. Continuing on a rollercoaster ride beneath the walls of Gherdenacia, you reach the plateau and the Ütia Gardenacia refuge (2051 m) (45 min.).
