Description
The Jöriseen round route is the quintessential hike in summer. Compared to summer, it is much quieter in winter though. The landscape is by no means less breathtaking.
The start of the Jörisgletscher round route is at Tschuggen in the Flüela valley. Along the pass road closed to motor vehicles, follow it to just before Rossboden. From there, ascend to an altitude of 2,349 m. Then head eastwards under point 2,507 and east of the mountain range with point 2,712, quite steeply into the Winterlücke and further to the saddle southeast of point 2,940. The first ascent is done. Now follows the beautiful descent over the Jörigletscher to the Jöriseen. From there, it's time to skin up again to Wäschchuchi (ridge gap south of point 2,771). Then follows the second descent through Müllersch Tälli to the Flüelapass road and on to Tschuggen.
Hidden Gem
After the route, the Gasthaus zum Tschuggen is recommended for a refreshment.
Safety Note
Anyone venturing off-piste does so entirely at their own risk and is outside the liability of the mountain railways. The yellow-marked freeride runs are secured but neither groomed nor monitored. They should only be used when open. We recommend checking the open runs, the SLF avalanche bulletin, and the weather forecast. All liability is excluded.
This freeride route is intended as a general directional guide. Depending on conditions, descent routes must be assessed and adapted independently. No guarantee can be given for the accuracy, completeness, or timeliness of the information.
Freeride sports in the open terrain are done at your own risk. Every freerider and ski tour participant is strongly advised to prepare thoroughly, plan routes, and obtain current information about snow and avalanche conditions. Avalanche report and snow info: www.slf.ch
Liability is declined for accidents resulting from the use of the published information and route descriptions.
In doubt, accompaniment by experienced mountain guides is strongly recommended: www.bergfuehrer-davosklosters.ch
Equipment
We recommend the avalanche training center before the descent.
At Jakobshorn near the Fuxägufer mountain station in Davos, the correct use of the avalanche transceiver (LVS) can be practiced under realistic conditions. The training area consists of a zone of 100 x 100 m on moderately steep terrain, representing a realistic avalanche cone. The use of the training area is free of charge. You must bring your own LVS and avalanche probe.
