The high alpine Martell Valley is one of the most beautiful side valleys of the Vinschgau Valley. It lies in the middle of the Stilfserjoch National Park and extends to the Cevedale glacier at 3,769 meters above sea level. In addition to wonderful hikes on easy Waal trails to alpine summit tours, especially the hospitable inhabitants make hiking in Martell a unique experience.

The Stilfserjoch National Park around the Ortler-Cevedale Group is one of the largest nature reserves in the Alps.

Numerous themed hikes will inform you about the waterways, the bearded vulture and mountain herbs, among other things. From fantastic views on the Marteller Panoramaweg to varied hikes for the whole family to the rustic Lyfi Alm, Zufallhütte or Marteller Hütte to summit tours that require a lot of fitness, the Stilfserjoch National Park offers hiking experiences for every level.

 

 

Up to the sky - Ortler circumnavigation with Cevedale ascent

The hikes to the imposing glacier pyramid of the 3,769-meter-high Monte Cevedale, which forms a striking double peak with the 3,757-meter-high Zufallspitze, are among the most impressive hiking tours in the region. A unique natural spectacle are the enormous glacier surfaces of the Cevedale such as the Forni glacier and the colossal backdrop of the Königsspitze-Zebru-Ortler triumvirate. A good physical condition and sure-footedness are just as obligatory for the difficult hiking paths over the glaciers as glacier equipment. The unique Ortler circumnavigation with Cevedale ascent takes you around the Ortler, the highest mountain in South Tyrol, in five days and offers numerous highlights.

Hiking trails along the old watercourses

The famous Waalwege in South Tyrol were built centuries ago along the Waale, the canals used to irrigate the fields in Alpine valleys with little rainfall. Today, these easy hiking trails with low gradients are especially popular with families and groups. While hiking in Martell you can explore some of the most beautiful Waalwege with magnificent views of the mountains, such as the Latschander Waal, Raminiwaal, Rautwaal, Marteller Holzrinnenwaal and Tarscher Jochwaal.

Welcome to the Martell hut

Surrounded by 15 three-thousand-meter peaks, the Marteller Hütte is located high above the Martell Valley in the southern Ortler Group. Here you can enjoy a magnificent view and the original South Tyrolean cuisine. The hut is the ideal starting point for hiking tours and mountain tours in the heart of the Stilfersjoch National Park. A beautiful hiking trail leads past a waterfall and over a steel suspension bridge to the Zufallhütte.

    Ho effettuato questa camminata ieri! La Val Martello è stupenda, e la camminata offre delle viste stupende sul lago e sul Cevedale con i suoi ghiacciai. Stupenda!

    Sehr schöne Tour im wunderschönen Martelltal. Beide Hütten sind bewirtschaftet und laden mit leckeren regionalen Gerichten zur Einkehr ein. Die Attraktionen in der Pilma-Schlucht sind etwas versteckt, daher beim Aufstieg zu beginn auf die Beschilderung achten.

    Sehr schöne Wanderung jedoch nicht wie hier in Outdooractive aus der Länge ermittelt as "leicht" zu bewerten. Der Auf- und Abstieg erfordert schon Kondition und Trittsicherheit und die alpine Region Umsicht mit der Witterung. Das Ziel, die Marteller Hütte, ist sehr gut organisiert und absolut empfehlenswert. Die Anreise kann mit öffentlichem Nahverkehr erfolgen. Parkplätze am Ausgangspunkt sind auch ausreichend vorhanden.

    Tolle Tour, den Hinweis „oder Sie umgehen das Eis und wandern über die darüber liegenden Felsen“ sollte man aber getrost ignorieren: Diese „Route“ ist steil, inzwischen sackbröselig und entsprechend sehr unangenehm. Also auf jeden Fall Steigeisen mitnehmen und nicht über dem Gletscher rumwursteln!

    Sehr schöne und abwechslungsreiche Tour. Nebenbei etwas gelernt zu Natur, Kultur und Geschichte der Region. Volle Empfehlung Eine Einstufung als mittelschwer wäre allerdings angebracht. Das entspricht dem Gelände, der Beschaffenheit des Weges und dem doch kinditionell fordernden Anstieg zur Hütte.
