Geheimtipp

If you feel unconfident, we recommend that you make an appointment with a mountain guide for this experience.

Sicherheitshinweis

  • Check the avalanche transceiver before every ascent/descent.
  • Bring a backpack with snow shovel, avalanche probe and first aid kit.
  • Be aware of possible weather changes.
  • Never "ride" alone! Always watch each other and be ready to react!

Now southwards through the eastern cirque of Piz Duan over several steps to below the eastern summit and then westwards, steeply at the end, to the summit head.
