Furggelti 2712m

At the very back of Vals, the mighty massif of the Güferhorn divides the alpine high valleys of Canal and Läntal in two. Right through the middle, between Zerfreilahorn and Furggeltihorn, is the Furggeltiweg, one of the most attractive pass hikes in the region. The long ascent leads directly above Lake Zerfreila up to an altitude of 2700 m, and the steep descent is finally rewarded with a fantastic panorama of the highest peaks and most impressive glaciers of the Vals Valley. The Rückweg from the Länta Hütte SAC to Zerfreila is much flatter and rewards persevering hikers with refreshment stops.

Rest in the cosy Lampertschalp (open from around mid/late June to around the end of September) or in the Länta Hütte SAC (open until around mid-October).

From the Zerfreila chapel (1984 m), descend in a good 30 minutes to the Canalbrücke (1865 m) and a few 100 metres later, at the first fork on the left, follow the hiking trail übers Furggelti. In about 2 hours 30 minutes through increasingly stony terrain up to the Furggelti (2712 m). Descent (2 hrs) ünsteige Hänge down to the Länta Hütte SAC (2089 m) and out of the valley to Lampertschalp (1 hr., 1991 m). Continue along the hiking trail for 1 hour 30 minutes via Ochsenstafel and Canalbrbrücke back to Zerfreila.
