Today we decide to do a winter walk in the Val di Funes valley. Starting point for our tour is the hikers' parking space at the Zannes Mountain Hut (1,680 m a.s.l.) in Santa Maddalena di Funes, subject to charges. First we follow the walking trail no. 33 in western direction. After about 1 km the hiking trail no. 33 branches off on the left, leading the way through the forest.
Again and again the snow-covered peaks of the Odle Group with Mt. Furchetta and Mt. Sass Rigais catches our sight. After about 500 m we proceed on the path no. 34, taking us to the Odle Mountain Hut (Geisleralm, 1,996 m a.s.l.). This is where a great panoramic view on the Odle Group enchants us, that is to say "Odle cinema". The hut in the Puez-Odle Nature Park is open in summer and in winter, more precisely from May to early November and from Christmas to mid-March.
After lunch at the mountain hut we head for our way back to our parking space. To another parking lot, the one of Ranui beneath the Zannes Mountain Hut, leads a 6 km long sledge run, one of the longest toboggan runs in the Valle Isarco. It is perfectly suited for moonlight tobogganing.
