We're back in the Kradorferalm Gsiesertal for the fourth time in less than three years. The hut is one of our latest discoveries hiking, and entered immediately in the objectives of the nicest winter, despite the access road is almost as long as one foot. The building is located at 1704 m, along the final stretch of the valley from Santa Maddalena penetrates northwards until it meets the Italian-Austrian border. To reach it, after about fifty km drive from Cortina Dobbiaco Villabassa, and the entire Monguelfo Gsiesertal, parked in the "heart" of Santa Maddalena, where there is a roundabout, and continue on foot. First for a stretch of paved and flat, then to a forest road in the woods, almost always finding more ice than snow (crampons are not are a bad idea ...), going with mean slope of the valley, passing to the left of Mesneralm (also open), after an hour we arrive at Pidigalm. On the right, after another pasture and a bridge, situated amidst the pines our goal. The place is quiet, rustic atmosphere, excellent cuisine and the walk did not lead to superhuman efforts. In winter, we stop here, but in summer you can still continue encountering another hut, the Oberbergalm, near Austria. Then we are at the foot of Corno Fana Casies second highest peak in the valley and superb goal with a sweeping view, which I remember with pleasure. For the descent, we tried a delicious novità: il "Sentiero Scoiattolo", che torna a Santa Maddalena restando sempre sulla sinistra orografica della valle, attraversa prati e pascoli con piccoli fienili e confluisce nell'ennesima strada boschiva che movimenta questo territorio conservato ed amato, dove il turismo è in armonia con la natura.
Piacevole novità, scendendo dalla Kradorferalm, 23 gennaio 2011 |
