Lichtenberg-Scharte
Description
The first part of the ascent is on the pass road to the Stilfserjoch as far as Gomagoi, after which you take the road to Stilfs for a few meters. Before you reach the village, turn left and climb up to the Prader Alm. A little above the alp, the path turns into a single trail and climbs up to an altitude of 2272 meters above sea level. This is followed by a descent to the Stilfseralm and another ascent to the tree line above the Lichtenbergscharte. Now it's time for some first-class flow fun: The trail winds downhill past the Lichtenbergscharte until it flattens out a little at Gaschlin. Now it leads through an open pine forest in the direction of Prad, whereby a careful choice of line is required in some places. The descent is top class and the last few meters lead back to Prad via a small road.
Alternatives: Ride from Piazza directly up to the Stilfser Alm

Great tour! The climb is pretty tough, but a detour to the Furkelhütte is worth it just for the amazing panoramic views. At the top, the trail is fairly flat at first, though with some large rocks scattered about, before the descent begins. The first section is technically challenging, but then unfortunately there’s a stretch where you lose a significant amount of elevation on a forest road. This is followed by a smooth and fairly fast trail all the way to Prad. Overall, a highly recommended tour with magnificent views of the surrounding mountains.
