Details

Description

We start on the Oberalp Pass at theLeuchtturm, a copy of the former Unterfeuer of Hoek van Holland. It has stood here since 2010 and symbolizes the connection between the source and the mouth of the Rhine.

We are not the only ones! We don't have to worry about creating a good ascent track. With the sun on our faces, we ascend in a southerly direction to the ridge, where we change from the north to the south side. Here there are a few meters of descent, which we master with the skins under the skis. Then there are still a few hairpin bends to the summit.

We decided to descend over Lake Toma, which is why we now descend a few meters in altitude again. You never know if you should leave the skins on or not! Because in good conditions, the ridge up to the Fil da Tuma can be mastered with skis. Otherwise, wearing is announced. After this breezy passage we swing down to the snow-covered Tomasee, a special experience if you know the place from summer. Where the water leaves the lake, our descent continues, to the plain Plidutscha and on to Chamut.

Option 1: Descent on the east side via Nurschalas Grondas to Alp Milez

Option 2: Departure on the west side via the Pazolaälpetli to Nätschen and Andermatt

Geheimtipp

The water of the young Rhine leaves the lake through a steep channel that runs down to Pliducha. This is passable in good conditions and an absolute insider tip. Cheers!
