    From the right end of the Laterns Gapfohl lift parking lot, go through the forest (ski route, partly crossing the toboggan run) up to the height of Babylift. The Rankweil ski hut and the Laterns ski hut are left on the left. Then turn right onto the “Fürkele”. Here you see for the first time the entire panorama of Freschenstock with Mellenköpfe and Matona. Skin off here, ski down to the start of the "Fallaboda" drag lift, then follow the lift track and traverse slightly diagonally until you are back in open terrain. From here, after a left curve, let yourself run to get as far forward as possible. Skin on again and continue ascending. Follow the ascent route to the right of Alpe Saluver, along the gentle elevations. The two small rocky hills at the top are the Mellenköpfe, which you climb from the left side. Watch for cornice formation!

    Author’s recommendation

    Very rewarding route in spring with firm snow.

    Several dining options available during the descent in the ski area.
