Description
While the night skiers and tobogganists enjoy rapid descents further down (between the ford and Maienberg), the marked Furt-Gaffia ski slope is accessible to ski tourers. The starting point is the ford, which can be easily reached by the Wangs gondola lift. There are about 311 meters of ascent to the Mugghütte at 1,833 m above sea level.M. Once you arrive at your destination, you will be rewarded with the view of the snowy Winterlandschauft and a fabulous sea of lights high above the Rhine Valley. The descent takes place via the regular slope. The night ski touring slope on the Pizol is the ideal combination of training, nature experience and view.
