Alpine, demanding, solitary and steep. This is how the route could be briefly described. Those who are looking exactly for such a ski route are in the right place under safe conditions. Oh yes, tricky crossings and easy scrambling passages during the ascent and endless descents are also part of this route.
Details
Description
The start of the route is located in Sogn Giusep, a small hamlet in the innermost Val Lumnezia. You can walk leisurely up to Puzzatsch and admire the steep northern slopes. Now the route leads along the alpine road, which is mostly not visible, above the Ramosa creek up to Alp Ramosa. This steep crossing can also be managed near the creek if there is enough load-bearing snow. Most people take a first break at Tegia Sut.
Sometimes flatter, sometimes steeper it continues upwards. Over La Capiala, finally very steeply up to the ski depot below Piz Cavel. Now you climb on foot over the NE ridge to the summit. The view up here is simply fantastic. It feels like it stretches across all of Graubünden and the Ticino Alps.
The descent follows the ascent route. In the upper section often over alpine and beautiful slopes.
Hidden Gem
Under very safe conditions, it is possible to ski down from the summit to the east into a hollow south of La Capiala. Caution: There are steep slopes between 30 and 40 degrees over approximately 200 meters of elevation.
Safety Note
Ski and snowshoe routes in unsecured terrain require good knowledge of avalanche danger assessment and route planning. Furthermore, a complete safety equipment must always be carried - regardless of the current avalanche danger.
We recommend the app and website of WhiteRisk for preparation and planning of the route.
For carefree enjoyment, we recommend our mountain guides and snowshoe walking leaders of the Surselva.
