Details

Description

The starting point for the challenging variant (difficulty ZS+) is the Pischa cable car station, where the ascent towards Pischahorn begins. This first ascent is relatively short and without difficulties. Thus, early in the day, the first great descent beckons. The wide slopes down into the Vereina Valley offer wonderful variations. You can easily and enjoyably descend about 1,200 vertical meters!


The re-ascent on the opposite valley side towards Roggenhorn is very varied. Due to strong sunshine, the ascent can be sweaty and raise the pulse. The Roggenhorn lies in the middle of the Silvretta and offers a beautiful view of the mountain group of the central Eastern Alps. After an enjoyable summit rest, the second, even longer descent into the Verstancla Valley awaits. Pure enjoyment!


The last part of the route leads relatively flat from the Verstancla Valley to Monbiel, where the Alp Novai and Alp Garfiun offer two well-deserved places to rest.

Hidden Gem

Since the ascent to the Roggenhorn is exposed to the sun relatively early, it is recommended not to start the route too late.

Safety Note

Anyone venturing off-piste acts solely on their own responsibility and is outside the liability area of the cable car companies. The yellow-marked freeride slopes are secured but not prepared or controlled. They should only be used when open. We recommend checking the open slopes, the SLF Avalanche Bulletin, and the weather forecast. All liability is excluded.


This freeride route is to be understood as a general directional guide. Depending on conditions, descent routes must be assessed and adjusted independently. No guarantee can be given for the accuracy, completeness, or timeliness of the information.


Freeride sport in open terrain is at your own risk. Every freerider and tour participant is strongly advised to prepare thoroughly, plan the route, and gather current information on snow and avalanche conditions. Avalanche report and snow info: www.slf.ch


Liability for accidents arising from the use of published information and route details is rejected.


In case of doubt, accompaniment by experienced mountain guides is strongly recommended: www.bergfuehrer-davosklosters.ch

Equipment

We recommend the avalanche training center before departure.


At Jakobshorn near the Fuxägufer cable car station in Davos, you can practice the correct use of the avalanche transceiver (LVS) under realistic conditions. The training area consists of a 100 x 100 m zone on moderately steep terrain, representing a realistic avalanche cone. Use of the training area is free of charge. You must bring your own LVS and avalanche probe.
