Piz Dadens
Show all 4 images
The Piz Dadens from Brigels is no Sunday walk. But it is definitely a great ski tour in an alpine environment. You can basically start right from the hotel bed or from anywhere in the mountain village of Brigels. In spring, you should be on the move early. Many slopes face south.
Details
Description
At the chapel Sogn Giacun you can put on the skins and start the tour. The beginning is leisurely. At first, the alp road leads through the forest, later over alpine meadows to the alp Tschegn Dadens Sut. Now the slopes become partly steeper and you can gain good altitude. Above the tree line, in Val Miez, the scenery becomes even more magnificent. The rock formations at Piz Dadens and Piz Dado come closer and the panorama to the south extends further and further with each step.
At an altitude of about 2500 m above sea level, turn left towards the west and climb over the increasingly steep hollow, later on a northern exposure, up to the ski depot just below the summit. Mostly on foot, continue up to the summit. The small summit point is usually not climbed in winter. It is quite exposed and tricky to climb.
The descent is on the ascent route back to Brigels. This tour should only be undertaken under safe conditions. Especially the slopes near the summit are very steep and there is partial risk of falling. Under safe conditions and with corresponding technical skills, however, Piz Dadens is a great ski tour.
Hidden Gem
In spring, be sure to start early. At this time of year, you may have to carry your skis for a short distance at the beginning and end of the tour.
Safety Note
Ski and snowshoe tours in unsecured terrain require good knowledge in assessing avalanche danger and tour planning. A complete safety equipment must always be carried – regardless of the current avalanche danger.
For preparation and planning of the tour, we recommend the app and website of WhiteRisk.
For carefree enjoyment, we recommend our mountain guides of the Surselva.
