With two passes to negotiate, the next day is much more strenuous. It begins by climbing roughly eastwards through increasingly wild country before mounting a chaos of rocks to gain the 2735m Furcletta. On the east side of this pass the trek goes down through Val d’Urezzas as far as its confluence with Val Urschai, then heads upstream to the alp buildings of Marangun d’Urschai, where it crosses the river and works a way up to Pass Futschöl and into Austria. An hour or so below the pass stands the large Jamtal Hut, owned by the German Alpine Club (DAV).

As its name suggests, the Jamtal Hut is built in the upper reaches of the Jamtal, a fine valley that flows north to Galtür in the Paznauntal. Instead of descending through that valley, the continuing route of the Silvretta circuit tackles the 2839m Getschner Scharte, a rocky pass in the Jamtal’s western boundary. Descending into the little Bieltal, the main route then crosses the easy Radsattel to gain a splendid view of Piz Buin’s north flank and the glaciers flowing from it. The Wiesbadener Hut, where the day ends, is regularly used as a base for climbing this major Silvretta peak.
