Details

Description

The entire Haute Route Graubünden passes four huts and takes five days to complete. You have experience of ski touring and deep snow and can master steeper passages on the ascent and descent. You have mastered the hairpin bend and are physically fit enough for a four-hour ascent and up to 1200 m. Then nothing stands in the way of this ski crossing! 

The start is at the La Veduta parking lot (shortly after the Julier Pass, coming from Silvaplana). Follow the valley basin of the Val d'Agnel to the Fuorcla d'Agnel. A beautiful descent then awaits. Finally, the skins have to be put on again for the last few meters up to the hut.
