In early summer 2019, a new trail to Capanna Sasc-Furä was build. The new route is a bit longer and more demanding, but well secured in exposed places. The old route is closed.

The alpine adventures on Piz Badile have attracted mountaineers of all nationalities to the Val Bondasca. Today, people meet in the cosy rooms of the Sasc Furä hut on summer evenings to set off the next morning on one of the many climbing tours on the Badile or Cengalo.

 

The hike to the hut itself is also a worthwhile destination. The trail follows old tracks on the western side of the Val Trubinasca, and at the highest point meets the path from the Trubinasca Pass to the Sasc Furä Hut. The old hut trail via Val Bondasca is no longer accessible and closed since the landslide on the Cengalo!

 

On a small extension, the Sasc Furä ridge towards the unmistakable Badile north ridge, you have an excellent view and can watch the climbers on their various ascents. The refuge also serves as a starting point for the tour over the Passo della Trubinasca.

Destination

Sasc Furä

Turn-by-turn directions

The starting point is the church of San Martino in Bondo. The first part of the route follows the gravel road that leads to the Ceresc and Cugian Alps. After about 1 km, another forest road crosses, which we follow towards Val Bondasca.

 Instead of crossing the bridge at Punt Marlun, we follow the mountain path that climbs to the right. The steep, well-marked path leads up to Alp Cugian. We continue on the path and keep left at the fork near the Luvartigh Alp. From here the path becomes a little more demanding. It goes around Salecina and crosses several stream valleys with a lot of ups and downs. Reaching Valun della Turbinasca, the trail crosses a gravel slope and continues upwards until it meets the trail from the Turbinasca pass at the highest point. From here, we continue to the left to the clearly visible Sasc-Furä hut.
