    Leisurely hike from Faschina over the Fatnella Alpe to Fontanella.

    The hike starts at the large parking lot at Faschinajoch. From there, ascend via the hiking trail to Staffel Alpe and further to Franz-Josef-Hütte. Below the Franz-Josef-Hütte, the trail branches off to the left in the direction of Glatthorn or Fatnella Alpe. Arrived at the yoke below the Glatthorn, the trail now leads downhill to the Fatnella Alpe. From Fatnella Alpe there are now two possibilities for the descent to Fontanella: via the footpath or via the goods road. From the center of Fontanella take the bus line 570 back to Faschina to the starting point.
