Furchëta

The Furchëta summit reaches an elevation of 3025 meters within the Odle Group, featuring steep limestone cliffs and sharp vertical walls.

The Odle mountain range earned recognition during the 1960s when mountaineer Reinhold Messner completed numerous first ascents in the surrounding peaks.

The name Odle derives from Ladin language, reflecting the centuries-old presence of this linguistic minority in the South Tyrol region.

Mountaineers access Furchëta through established routes from Val Gardena or Val di Funes, with mountain huts providing shelter along the paths.

The summit shares the exact elevation of 3025 meters with its neighboring peak Sass Rigais, creating a distinctive dual-topped profile in the range.
