Der Lag Serein naben dem Gipfelziel, im späten Winter.

The locals know this destination well - especially because it leads via the partly staffed Alp Glivers. It is a quiet ski route in an area where other summits are climbed very alpine-style. The Cuolmet, in German a kind of hill, is however significantly easier to climb - and no less beautiful.

Description

After a few metres of skinning through the holiday settlement Plaun la Crusch, the skis are put on. On the summer path and later in the area of the hiking trail it goes to Alp Crap Ner Sut. Perhaps you can find a cosy rest spot in front of the hut there. After 650 metres elevation gain you have probably earned it! Along the forest and bush line and under small rock walls we pull the tracks ever higher up the mountain. In the Schigels area, the increasingly steep slopes demand more and more attention and orientation ability. Good visibility is mandatory here.

About 150 metres before the summit it may become a bit flatter again before the very steep summit slope follows at the end. This reaches over 40 degrees steepness in parts.

The entire tour requires experience in assessing avalanche danger, weather and tour planning. Those who have a safe day and can ski well will experience a great ski route in alpine terrain.

Hidden Gem

Refreshments at Alp Glivers. Please ask in advance if someone is there.

Safety Note

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

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

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

Chapel Disentis Sedrun

Chapel of Sogn Benedetg, Sumvitg

The chapel, which was designed by Peter Zumthor, is located a few hundred meters from the old site. The timber construction integrates elements of the local building style and is both traditional and very modern. The teardrop-shaped floor plan plays with natural geometric shapes, while inside, skylights and the abundance of wood lend the room a warm and light atmosphere.
