Cevedale and Zufallspitze – Traverse

Day 1: Approach to the hut
We meet either in Hintermartell at the car park by the goods cable car to the Zufallhütte or directly at the Marteller Hütte. The climb to the hut takes about 2 hours. In the evening we relax at the hut and go over the final details of the next day's tour.
Walking time: 2 h | ↑ 550 m

Day 2: Zufallspitze and Cevedale
We set off early in the morning after a hearty breakfast. We climb via the Fürkeleferner glacier to the rocky ridge and on to the Zufallspitze. From there we follow the striking firn ridge on to Monte Cevedale. At the highest point, a magnificent view awaits of the trio of Königsspitze, Zebrù and Ortler. The tour also offers impressive glacier expanses and a truly great alpine experience that, thanks to its relatively moderate difficulties, also suits fit beginners well.

We descend via the Zufallferner glacier back to the Marteller Hütte and on down into the valley. On the way back there is the option of stopping off at the Drei Kanonen (three cannons). An impressive example of the enormous effort that went into the ultimately senseless fighting on the Ortler front. The guns were dismantled into individual parts, loaded onto wooden sledges and hauled up across the glacier by numerous men – a story you won't forget in a hurry up there.
Total time: 9 h | ↑ 1,250 m | ↓ 1,800 m | Difficulty: PD, 40°
