A total of three additional loops, some with steep intermediate sections, offer variety on the way to Martina, even for those familiar with the route. Although the border village of Martina has only around 100 inhabitants, it has two churches worth seeing: San Plasch from 1515 and San Niclà (12th century) with a monumental painting of St Christopher. There is also the ‘Stamparia Strada’ printing museum in Tschlin, just before Martina. The print shop was founded in 1680. Following careful renovation, the house is now one of the best-preserved farmhouses of the era and is a sight in itself.

Loipe Hochalpines Institut Ftan

open

Hard

7,457 m

From the PostBus stop Ftan, cumün approx. 300 metres in the direction of the western end of the village, the trail entrance is located at the Kinderland Sainas. On initially flat terrain, you reach the car park at Hotel Paradies. After crossing the road, the actual Hochalpines Institut Ftan trail begins. The trail leads a short distance into the forest. Over several steps, the trail quickly gains altitude and reaches the Hochalpines Institut Ftan. On the plateau, you can really enjoy the winter landscape in the picturesque surroundings. Even if the almost 100 metres in altitude seem daunting at first glance, the trail is a wonderful winter experience for skating and classic skiers.

As a short circuit, this trail is also available as a night trail. The light switch for the night trail is at the wooden hut by the car park (towards Ardez). After switching on, the light burns for one hour and then switches off automatically.

The 3.3 km long and floodlit circular trail consists of two loops. The first leads from the sports centre out onto a plain in the direction of Prà da Punt (about 1 km). You then cross the Spölbach stream and can tackle the second loop. This leads over a short but intense ramp up to the edge of the forest where you then head back towards Zernez and, after a rapid descent, back to the starting point. (The lighting can be switched on manually).
