This is a local’s ski route that we are revealing here. The ski route starts with a beautiful ascent to Alp Crap Ner. From here the terrain opens up and becomes increasingly alpine in character up to the summit – flat, lonely, and steep.

Description

Start just before the small village of Sogn Benedetg and follow the trail over the Siltginas farm, later through a wooded area up to Alp Crap Ner. The hut invites you to rest in front of the sunny wooden facade. The terrain now often becomes steeper and more alpine. In poor visibility, orientation becomes increasingly challenging. About 100 meters elevation below the summit, a decently steep slope has to be overcome. The near and far views up here are simply incredible.

Enjoy, strap on your skis, and glide back down along the ascent track into the valley. The open slopes offer some play opportunities until the Alp. However, please absolutely observe the large wildlife protection zone in the forest "Uaul dils Brens".

Hidden Gem

This route is only recommended in good visibility and avalanche conditions.

Safety Note

Ski and snowshoe tours in unsecured terrain require good knowledge in assessing avalanche hazards and tour planning. Additionally, always carry complete safety equipment – regardless of the current avalanche risk.

For preparation and planning of the tour, we recommend the WhiteRisk APP and website.

For a carefree experience, we recommend our mountain guides and snowshoe walking leaders of the Surselva.

Chapel Disentis Sedrun

Chapel of Sogn Benedetg, Sumvitg

The chapel, which was designed by Peter Zumthor, is located a few hundred meters from the old site. The timber construction integrates elements of the local building style and is both traditional and very modern. The teardrop-shaped floor plan plays with natural geometric shapes, while inside, skylights and the abundance of wood lend the room a warm and light atmosphere.
