マルテル-マルテッロのおすすめMTBライド

It's quite a climb uphill here. Take it slow so you can enjoy the view even more.

Lake Zufritt is a reservoir in the Ortler Alps. The reservoir covers an area of 70 hectares, is located at an elevation of 1,850 meters in the Martell Valley, and is traversed by the Plima River. Located in the Stelvio National Park, the reservoir is used for energy production. The associated hydroelectric power plant is located near Lasa.

The small pilgrimage church of Our Lady in the Woods stands on the Schmelz, in the heart of the wooded Martell Valley, where a mine has been documented since 1448. This charming miners' chapel was founded in 1711 by the Hendl family of counts from Kastelbell, sold in the famine year of 1816, expanded with a tower in 1856, and remodeled in the neo-Gothic style in 1894. Until after the Second World War, the people of Martell marched in procession from the parish church in the village to the chapel on the Schmelz for the church consecration festival. The patron saint's day is celebrated on the first Sunday in July, the Feast of the Visitation of the Virgin Mary (July 2), with a field mass and sermon from the boulder next to the church.

From here, you have a great view of the valley. There's also a bench here, perfect for resting and enjoying the panorama.

A beautiful chapel nestled amidst breathtaking mountain scenery. Here you can take a break in the shade of the walls.

On the Martello Valley Trail (Marteller Talweg), just before the Zufrittbach stream flows into the Zufritt Stausee lake, there is a wooden bridge that crosses a stretch of the stream characterized by a series of small waterfalls. Here, the crystal-clear water of the Gioveretto stream flows vigorously, forming waterfalls and pools that stand out among the rocks, within an idyllic Alpine setting.

Lago Gioveretto, located at 1,852 meters above sea level, at the bottom of Val Martello, is a charming artificial lake with turquoise waters. Dominated by Mount Gioveretto, it offers a pleasant walk suitable for everyone, even if the path runs along only one bank.
