Winter Tuffalm/Malga Tuff

Tuffalm/ Malga Tuff lies in the breathtaking and beautiful Seiser Alm Nature Park/ Scillar Nature Park. You will be spoilt by a choice of many  hiking paths for every family.




We usually leave our car near the lake of Voels am Schlern/ Fie' allo Scillar at 1.036m (last time we've been there it cost 3 euros per day). 
The sledge slope starts near the car park and is very well sign posted. You will find that all the paths are well maintained even in winter and good walking boots will suffice.



The slope is 1.5 km long and it takes about 45 mins to get there. It is possible to hire a horse carriage to get there. You'll find it near the lake at the start of the path. 
The difference in altitude level is 214m and the path difficulty is described as medium. 
You can get the sledges free of charge at Malga Tuff, although we were once asked to pay.


Beware of the fact that Tuffalm is only open from the 26 of December until the beginning of March. For more information visit their website below, although it's only in German and Italian for the time being.


At the end of your walk/sledge ride you can go ice skating on the lake, but you must bring your own skates.


How to get there:

From Trento take the A22 towards Brennero, take the exit Bolzano Nord/Bozen Nord towards SS12, then turn into SP24 towards Voels am Schlern/ Fie' allo Scillar. Park at the car park near the lake where you will find the Nature Park info point as well.

Duration: it depends on you, from half a day to a whole day trip.


Level: easy to medium;


Refreshments and toilet facilities: the restaurant near the lake and Tuffalm.
