Description

The GPS track shows a loop tour, which we however recommend as an out-and-back tour. That means either starting in Vrin (public transport connection) or from Sogn Giusep by car.

The tour from the village of Vrin is somewhat more demanding in the summit area. You ascend directly over the alpine meadows of Prada and reach Alp Dado after about 500 meters of elevation gain. It becomes more challenging in terms of avalanche risk, as steep slopes must be crossed repeatedly or you move within the influence area of steep slopes. The climb to the summit requires some hairpin turns and is not to be underestimated. The space at the highest point is limited, but the panorama certainly is not. You can then either descend along the ascent track or take the route via Sogn Giusep, with the disadvantage of having to walk along the valley road at the end.

The ascent from Sogn Giusep requires arrival by car. This tour is somewhat easier but still has a few steeper sections. It ascends over alpine meadows up to the height of Stavel Liung at about 2000 m a.s.l., just right for warming up. Then further over Puozas up to below the summit. Often, a ski depot must be made here. The summit ridge is regularly wind-blown. In theory, you could now descend via Alp Dado. However, whoever has the car in Sogn Giusep must solve this logistical problem.

The temptation to descend via Alp Cuolm is great. However, this area is a wildlife protection zone and closed from 01.12. to 15.04. Please strictly observe this!

Safety Note

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

For preparation and planning of the tour, we recommend the app and website of WhiteRisk.

For an enjoyable experience, we recommend our mountain guides and snowshoe walking leaders of Surselva.

Public Facility Surselva

Ställe und Schlachthof von G.A. Caminada, Vrin

In 1998 Vrin received the Wakker Prize for the exemplary classification of new agricultural buildings in the villagescape. Because of their decentralized location outside the village, the local architect G.A. Caminada was looking for ways to give the buildings a reference to the core village. He found them in the material: of course in the ubiquitous wood, but also in the quarry stone, which can be found everywhere in the village.

Church Surselva

Church Nossadunna e Sogn Gion Battesta, Vrin

In the furthest village in Val Lumnezia, a colorful southern tower points the way to the church. The imposing building was erected at the end of the 17th century by Antonio Broggio from Roveredo in Misox. The forces are high in almost the entire church, which is an exception. It is highly probable that the chapel was built on a pre-Christian place of worship.

Attraction Surselva

Stiva da morts /Totenstube, Vrin

The mortuary borders on the cemetery and parish church in Vrin. The "Stiva da morts" is more than just a parlour: it offers the possibility of retreat on the one hand and communality on the other. The "Stiva" offers space for the dead and the living. With its novel sequence of rooms, the mortuary makes a change in the way death is dealt with possible in the first place.
