Trail Run - Zerfreilahorn Circumnavigation

At the very back of Vals, the mighty massif of the Güferhorn divides the alpine high valleys of Canal and Läntal in two. The Furggeltiweg, one of the most attractive pass tours in the region, runs right through the middle between the Zerfreila and Furggeltihorn peaks. The long ascent leads directly above Lake Zerfreila to an altitude of 2700 m and the steep descent is 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.

From the post bus stop in front of the Zervreila restaurant, a narrow, asphalted road leads past the dam wall in the direction of the Zerfreila chapel (1984 m). From there, a natural road with a constant view of Lake Zerfreila leads down to the Canalbrücke (1865 m) in a good 20 minutes and a few 100 metres later follow the hiking trail übers Furggelti at the first fork on the left. In about 2 hours through increasingly stony terrain up to Furggelti (pass height 2712 m).
Descent (1 hour) ünt via steep slopes down to the Länta Hütte SAC (2089 m) and out of the valley to Lampertschalp (30 min., 1991 m). Continue along the hiking trail for 1 hour via Ochsenstafel and Canalbrbrücke back to Zerfreila.
