The Piz Cavalaccio/Chavalatsch (2.763m), a beautifully situated mountain of the Fallatsch ridge, between the Passo dello Stelvio and the Val Müstair, offers one of the most beautiful summit views of the Vinschgau Valley. Next to the summit cross is a former Italian customs hut, which now serves as a relay station for radio amateurs in the Vinschgau Valley. This rewarding mountain hike has no difficulties worth mentioning. The paths are very gentle and there are no exposed or difficult parts. Since the described ascent is via the sun-exposed side, an ascent at the warmest time of day may be avoided.

 

Details

From the game reserve “Fragges”, follow trail no. 2 which leads onto a well laid out trail through the forest. Follow this trail to reach the Malga Stelvio in just under an hour. The Malga Stelvio di Sopra is a working farm. Just before the farm, trail no. 5 branches off and leads to the Piz Cavalaccio. Descend via the same route.

Approach

From Spondigna/Spondinig via the street to the Stelvio Pass SS 38 to Gomagoi, then right to Stelvio. Just before the village of Stelvio/Stilfs, a mountain road leads left to “Fragges”.
