Description

The route either starts from the valley road in Under Camana or from Ober Camana. It goes steadily uphill over the wide slopes southwest of the Camaner Hut. At about 2300 meters above sea level, turn slowly to the left (NW) and track the slopes and hollows along the ridge. A small-scale hilly landscape unexpectedly appears here, offering a very special landscape experience. The last 100 meters of elevation gain become a bit steeper and must be earned hard. However, the impressive deep view over the almost vertical northern slopes and the wide panorama at the summit easily compensate for the many beads of sweat. A good 1100 meters of ascent is certainly no joke.

The descent can be done via the ascent route. On the Camaner Ridge, this is not fixed though. The wide slopes allow various variants in safe conditions. Although it is officially not closed, we recommend not skiing the Camaner forest. The peace-seeking wildlife will thank you.

Hidden Gem

Those traveling by car can enjoy something on the sun terrace after the route at Hotel Camana. The restaurant is located in the old schoolhouse in Camanaboda.

Safety Note

Ski and snowshoe tours in unsecured terrain require good knowledge of avalanche risk assessment and route planning. Also, a complete safety equipment must always be carried — regardless of the current avalanche danger.

We recommend the WhiteRisk app and website for preparation and tour planning: WhiteRisk.

For carefree enjoyment, we recommend our mountain guides and snowshoe hiking leaders of the Surselva region.
