The naturatrafoi visitor centre in the village of Trafoi is located directly on the famous Stelvio Pass road.

Holiday apartment in Trafoi: waterfalls and Heiligen Drei Brunnen

The hiking trail to the waterfalls of Trafoi is a circular route and leads to three roaring waterfalls. Along the way, you pass the Heiligen Drei Brunnen. From a car park directly next to the Heiligen Drei Brunnen, you can reach the waterfalls on foot in about an hour. This approximate walking time helps you fit the excursion into your daily schedule and weigh up whether to opt for a shorter hike or a longer day in the mountains.

Furkelhütte and Ortler massif

The Furkelhütte is located in the Vinschgau at an altitude of 2,153 metres above Trafoi. You can reach the hut by the Trafoi chairlift or on foot via the well-marked Trail No. 17; the walk takes about two hours. From the Furkelhütte, you can enjoy an impressive view of the heavily glaciated Ortler massif.

Winter hike through the spruce forest

A winter hike leads directly from the village of Trafoi through a romantic spruce forest to the Heiligen Drei Brunnen pilgrimage site. The route complements the waterfall circuit with a winter experience featuring forest, village connections and a destination of religious significance. If you choose a holiday apartment for a trip with varied interests, you can include this route as a separate element in your daily plan alongside mountain and waterfall experiences.
