Details
Description
From Maloja to Plan di Cavai, the route follows the summer path and the cross-country ski trail. After the rock nose, there is a steep ascent onto the ridge west of the Murtairac. Then it continues rather flat until the north gully below the summit. Here the skis are taken off and it is best to climb the steep couloir to the northeast ridge with crampons. Continue along the ridge to the summit.
Descent along the ascent route.
Hidden Gem
Demanding ski route that should only be attempted under the best ski touring conditions!
If you feel uncertain, we recommend making an appointment with a mountain guide.

- Check your avalanche transceiver (AVD) before each ascent/descent.
- Carry a backpack with a snow shovel, avalanche probe, and first aid kit.
- Observe possible weather changes.
- Never "ride" alone! Always watch each other and be ready to react!
