Quite a difficult route but beautiful views of the Cevedale group

Totally idyllic mountain hut with overnight accommodation. Quiet and secluded with a great panoramic view and a small lake. Don't despair when hiking to the hut: you can only see it when you are right in front of it, as it is very sheltered. And watch out: the kitchen closes at 3 p.m.

In my collection of the highest "hiking peaks" of every Alpine country, Monte Vioz has replaced Rocchiamelone (and Punta Rossa del Grivola) for Italy. A higher peak that can be reached "hiking" [for me that means without glacier equipment and with a maximum of short, not too exposed climbing sections in the 1st degree] should not be found anywhere in Italy [if you know one, please message me! 🙂]. For my criterion, the only option was to leave the valley without a cable car, since it's almost 2,000 meters of ascent and descent. In addition, I wanted to take the Punta Linke with me as the 19th peak over 3500 m [in the meantime there are 21 😉]. At the end of September, the cable car and hut were already closed, but in good weather the summit could still be (almost) snow-free. Although you always have to be aware that there can be a lot of snow at this height, even in midsummer - the much-cited "alpine experience" is always recommended, despite the comparatively easy path (T3+) for the height.

The summit is only about 100 m above the hut. The summit cross is a little further ahead of the highest point. While the view to the south was already comparable from the hut, it now opens up over wide glacier areas to the north and to the Palon de la Mare.

Easy summit reachable via an easy path and ropes in the most exposed points. Important difference in height. Panorama on the Forni valley and its glaciers.

When the snow melted in spring, the residents of the Martell Valley had to expect that the meltwater would suddenly pour out beneath the glacier (today it is only a shadow of its former self) and cause the Plimabach to swell to such an extent that severe flooding would occur further down in the valley . It was then decided to build a simple dam that would allow the residents to drain the meltwater in a controlled manner. This meant that the risk of flooding in the lower Martell Valley was largely averted.

The spectacular suspension bridge over the gorge has been technically calculated and built so that it can be used all year round because it can carry several meters of snow. https://www.sentres.com

The Zufallhütte is beautifully situated at an altitude of 2264 m at the end of the Martell valley. From here you have a great view down into the Martell valley. It serves as a starting point for hikes z. B. to the Cevedale (but is already mountaineering) or as a transition over the Madritschjoch into the Sulden valley. And it is one of the few AV huts in the entire Alpine region that has a sauna. A visit and, above all, an overnight stay there is definitely worth it.
