Details
Description
From the guest information at the PostAuto stop Ftan, cumün, the route leads westwards to the Alpine Institute Ftan. Below the sports school is the cross-country trail where World Cup athletes such as the Cologna brothers, Nevin Galmarini or the Haller siblings were allowed to train; parallelly the path leads across the field and then follows the forest edge of Arsüra. Above the connecting road between Ardez and Ftan, the route turns left and soon reaches the main road. Follow this for about 200 meters towards Ardez and turn left into the forest at the exhibition site, through which you reach Hotel Paradies. From here, the path leads past the old mill over Nügla back to Ftan Grond and the starting point of the hike. This scenically very attractive loop on Ftan’s sunny terrace is well known to many top athletes who once attended school and sports classes at the institute.
