Tour of the Telves huts

DESCRIPTION
Nice walk to the three Telves mountain huts in Val Ridanna.
If you need to relax and eat a good plate of potatoes, eggs and speck, this excursion is for you. The itinerary runs almost entirely on dirt roads and does not present technical difficulties. The panorama, especially where there is no tall vegetation, offers a beautiful view of Val Ridanna and the surrounding mountains. We did it in the autumn: the vegetation presented itself with beautiful chromatic shades and we also met few hikers.

ITINERARY
From the Telves di Sopra car park (1320 m) take the road - trail marker 5, first asphalted and then unpaved, which leads to Malga Freund (1735 m). From here you continue to climb towards the Malga Ochsen (1911 m). Now along a stretch of the Alta Via Dolomieu you arrive at Malga Kuh (1895 m). Descend a bit and return to Malga Freund. Return to the car park along the same road.

STARTING POINT
Telves di Sopra

REFRESHMENT POINT
Malga Freund (1735 m) open all year, Malga Ochsen (1911 m) and Malga Kuh (1895 m)
