The hike starts at the “Obertelfes/Telves di Sopra” bus stop, just a few minutes’ walk from the fire station. The well-maintained trail no. 5 ascends gradually through woodland to the Freundalm mountain hut. Continue on the same trail until reaching a junction, where you follow trail no. 5A to the right towards the Kuhalm mountain hut.
Note: the route follows gravel tracks and short sections of paved road, entirely avoiding forest trails. It is therefore well suited to mountain bikes.
The opening hours of mountain and alpine huts can be found here.
