Details

Description

The Graubünden Haute Route is a challenging, five-day ski crossing. The route runs mostly in alpine terrain and requires appropriate experience.

Requirements

  • Safe ski touring and deep snow experience.
  • Mastery of hairpin technique.
  • Physical fitness for daily stages with up to 1200 meters of ascent (approx. 4 hours at a pace of 300 hm/h).
  • Special features: Along the route, there are various opportunities for summiteers to climb additional rewarding 3000-metre peaks.

Variants

Light version: The tour can be shortened to four days, with one hut being omitted.

Snowshoe tour: With adapted routing on the 2nd and 5th stages, the crossing is also a great experience for snowshoe hikers.

For information on the adapted routes, it is recommended to contact the hut wardens.
