Easy and relatively avalanche-safe ski tour on forest roads to the Starkenfeldhütte and back. Depending on fitness and experience, various alternatives can be incorporated at any time during ascent and descent. The Astjoch (2194m) can also be easily included as a summit.
Author’s recommendation
The Starkenfeldhütte invites you to stop by with culinary highlights from South Tyrol. You can also stay overnight in the very beautiful hut.

Avalanche forecast reports must always be obtained before every tour, as well as the weather report. In Italy, everyone is required to carry complete avalanche equipment including an avalanche transceiver (LVS), probe, and shovel. In case of accidents, do not hesitate to call mountain rescue at 118, otherwise you can also get help in all emergencies at number 112.Roadbook
Starting from the parking lot in Ellen at 1570 m above sea level, we head westward gently ascending along hiking trail 67B. After about 2 km, we reach the beautifully situated Hospalm at 1850 m. At around km 3.3, we turn west towards Astalm/Prilleralm. After the alpine pasture, we reach the Starkenfeldhütte in a few minutes via hiking trail 67, which is groomed in winter. The return route is the same as the outbound route.
