Winter hike to the Rif. Spitzbühl hut

This pleasant winter hike takes us to the quiet area of the Spitzbühlhütte mountain hut

The starting point of our family-friendly hike is the mountain station of the Alpe di Siusi Cable Car in Compaccio (1,850 m a.s.l.). From here, we follow the signposts with a moderate ascent towards the Alpenhotel Panorama, which is located directly at the mountain station of the Panorama lift.

Here we cross the ski slope and continue almost flat towards the Laurin Hut. Again we cross the ski slope at the top station of the Laurin lift and pass the entrance to the Alpe di Siusi Snowpark. On the left side an oversized witch's broom surprises us, which reminds us of the Sciliar Witches, who are said to have caused mischief in this area.

Now a very quiet section awaits us, far from the ski slopes and close to the cross-country ski tracks. We now hike slightly downhill, with the Sciliar towering in front of us, which constantly accompanies us on the way there. After about 1.5 hours of walking, we reach the Rif. Spitzbühl, where we stop for lunch.
Back to Compaccio we take the same route, enjoying the view on Sassolungo and Sassopiatto.
