Dreisprachenspitze & Rifugio Garibaldi

The Garibaldi Hut / Rifugio Garibaldi is located at the Dreisprachenspitze at 2,843 meters. From a distance it looks like a small fortress. Here you can stay overnight and be the first to drive the Goldseeweg in the morning before the temporary closure for mountain bikers.

Information on accommodation and reservations can be found here: rifugiogaribaldi.it

Numerous information boards, ruins and relics remind of the time of the First World War.

The language areas German (South Tyrol, formerly Austria-Hungary), Italian (Lombardia) and Romansh (Graubünden) meet at the top of the three languages.

Route 20 is now closed to bikers from 9am to 4pm.

The Dreisprachenspitze (Italian Cima Garibaldi) is a 2,843 meter high mountain on the border between Switzerland and Italy. This is where the Italian, German and Rhaeto-Romanic language areas come together. Interesting for mountain bikers: the famous Goldseetrail begins here. If you want, you can stay overnight in the Garibaldi Hut (phone: (+39) 0342 - 904312) and start from there!

Starting point to the Goldseetrail. Magnificent view of the glacier area.

After the end of the snap breath an espresso with a view!

Fortunately, the impressive view knows no languages and is available free of charge. :)

And now on to the Goldseetrail.

Adlerhorst above the Stelvio, from there on a steep path (push!) Quickly accessible. Great view. The gold trail begins here (note the permitted times !!) and the trail down to the Umbrail (old military road).
