A tour for active skiers, ski tour enthusiasts and fans of adventure. La Traversata heads over a via ferrata on the border between Switzerland and Italy and is ideal for freeriders, too.
This ski tour starts at the Furggsattel mountain station. From there, it takes an hour to reach the entry point for the winter via ferrata “La Traversata”. With your skis on your backpack, you then climb the via ferrata – this takes about an hour – until reaching the historic Furggen mountain station (3,500 metres). To finish off, strap your skis back on and enjoy a 1,500 metre-long freeride descent to Italian Breuil-Cervinia, with the south face of the Matterhorn behind you all the way.
Mountain station Furggsattel – entrance to the winter via ferrata – mountain station Furggen – Breuil-Cervinia (IT).
We recommend to book a mountain guide who knows well the place.
We recommend:
Important! Requirement: very good skiing skills and abilities, ski touring experience, surefooted with no fear of heights
This tour is also accessible in summer but it takes a bit longer to get to the start.
The historically important Furggen mountain station was a pioneering effort of the tourism visionaries from Breuil-Cervinia in Italy. It was used as the mountain station for a cable car lift well into the 1990s.
Tip: “Be searchable”. Equip yourself with an additional RECCO rescue reflector*. Whether summer or winter. Available in our Online-Shop or our information desk.
*The additional reflector does not replace an avalanche beacon.
