    From the Laterns ski lifts parking lot, first follow the signposted ski route through the forest, ascend to the Fürkele, and ski down to the Saluver Alpe. From here, ascend gently past the Freschenhaus to the summit.

    Author’s recommendation

    During the ski season, there is an hourly ski bus on line 495 from Rankweil station to the valley station of the Laterns ski lifts.

    The route can be shortened with a route map.

    Roadbook

    From the bus stop, we walk to the end of the parking lot, where we can already see the first traces of the ski route. Towards the east, you walk briefly along the edge of the forest, then turn north. A few old huts can be seen along the route before entering the forest. The ski route is signposted with wooden boards. Up to the Falbastuba in the ski area, you cross the toboggan run and the signposted winter hiking trail. The route is almost constantly tracked. From the valley station of the practice lift, keep right below the ski hut of SC Rankweil. In a large arc, you reach the Alpe Gapfohl, which is managed in winter by the Laterns ski club. Here you follow a short section of the blue ski slope. After about 200 m, you leave it to the right and follow the forest road to the Gapfohler Fürkele. Here you skin uphill and ski down the forest road to the piste of the double drag lift. The track is crossed gently downhill. Now you see the sign indicating you are leaving the secured piste area. Follow the forest road route slightly downhill until it is more comfortable to skin up again. Between Garnitzabach and the ridge of Nobspitze, follow the valley floor to the Lower Saluver Alpe. To the left of the stable building, the terrain is suitable for ascending towards the Upper Saluver Alpe in winter. You cross the route of the material cable car. Up to approx. 1880 m, stay in the shallow hollow below the rocks. Then cross to the left (west) and shortly below the Freschenhaus reach the summer path. Pass the Freschenhaus and walk quite flat towards the northeast below the prominent ridge up to the altitude of 1900 m. At the saddle leading into the Mellental, turn left (northwest) and climb the summit ridge in several hairpin bends. Now you are on the wide summit plateau, which you follow to the peak. The descent follows the same track down to the saddle, then keep slightly left below the Mellenköpfe and follow the wide slopes below the Matona to the lower Saluver Alpe. Here you need to skin up again to the Fürkele. From there, you ski back to the starting point on one of the ski pistes.

    Hallo Walter, inzwischen haben die Zuständigen den Fehler gefunden. Nun müsste die Hütte richtig eingezeichnet sein.
