Description

From Riein, shortly after the start, it is mostly uphill at a leisurely pace. The wide alpine meadows are ideal snowshoe terrain. The hut at Alp da Riein is a wonderful place to take a long break. The view of the Surselva mountains is already phenomenal here. You now climb through blueberry bushes, which are hopefully no longer visible, towards the summit slope. This has steep passages and requires experience in choosing a route in the right conditions. You can climb up the steep northern slope or over the shoulder. Now you are standing on the generous summit of the Cauma and can enjoy the phenomenal view.

We descend via the same route. There are always small variations that make the descent exciting.

If you know the area well and are experienced in assessing the risk of avalanches, it is also possible to descend via the Dutjer Alp and/or the Alp da Sevgein.

Geheimtipp

If conditions are unsafe, you can also just climb up to Alp da Riein. This is also a wonderful tour. This would reduce the difficulty to WT2.

Sicherheitshinweis

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

We recommend using the WhiteRisk app and website to prepare and plan your tour.

For carefree enjoyment, we recommend our mountain guides and snowshoe hiking guides in the Surselva.
