Völs am Schlern/Fiè allo Sciliar
Winter hike to the Tuff and Hofer Alpl mountain hut
This beautiful winter’s walk leads up through snowy woods from the Völser Weiher Lake to the Tuff and Hofer Alpl mountain hut. The trail is both a walking and a sledding path, so sledding back down is an excellent option. Given that the walk begins at the Völser Weiher Lake, you can also make the most of the opportunity to strap on your skates and take a spin around the lake.
Follow the path no. 1 or 1B, passing by the Huber Weiher Lake, in sweeping curves through the forest until the Tuff Alm mountain hut where the view opens out onto snowy alpine meadows and the surrounding mountains. This hike can also be extended to the Hofer Alpl mountain hut. The trail till Tuff Alm is also a sledge run, so sledging your way back down is an excellent option. You can also take the opportunity to strap on your ice skates and take a spin round on the Völser Weiher lake.
