Güner Lückli im Safiental

1200 meters of altitude are quite a lot for a snowshoe tour. Often the tour is done with snowshoes from the hamlet of Gün. This tour, which is about 250 metres shorter in altitude, is then feasible for well-trained people. The tour will then no longer be possible by public transport. The road to Gün can be challenging in winter.

We start the tour from the valley road and have to track steeply up at the beginning. At the height of the Gün farm, the view of the mountains becomes more impressive with every step. At almost 2000 meters above sea level, the Güner huts are waiting for us. At this point, at the latest, a break at a warm hut wall is announced. The route continues over the broad shoulder to a micro small hut. The snow is often blown away by the wind on our backs, but this does not prevent us from trudging below the steep final slope. The summit slope with a steepness of around 33 degrees is often filled with wind slabs. In safe conditions, however, it is definitely worth it, because the reward comes in the form of an incredible panoramic view. The view down into the west side, which is not accessible in winter, is also "not bad".

For the descent, we give a small variant here, but it is freely selectable. The wide slopes allow for many possibilities.

If you take the whole tour from the valley road under your snowshoes, you have to start early. Especially in the middle of winter, the days are short.
