Those with some fitness will find a great experience on this ski route. The varied descent can be done along the ascent route or over the often powdery slopes via Chrizbial.
Details
Description
Those arriving by public transport can start directly from the post bus terminus at Friggahüs. Those arriving by car, we recommend a start from the small parking lot in front of St.Martin.
The ascent proceeds over alpine meadows to the Maiensäss settlement Wasma and later through the forest and across a wide plateau to Vorderalp. Here you have already completed more than half of the altitude gain and have earned a generous break in an alpine setting. Initially, the route continues calmly until the terrain becomes steeper and more alpine from time to time. However, no major difficulties are to be expected. The summit of Piz Titschal marks the beginning of the mighty Val Gronda chain. The panoramic view extends to the Furkahörner, Oberalpstock, Tödi, Calanda, and beyond.
You can now either descend along the ascent route or take the often powdery slopes towards Chrizbial under the skis. As a minor disadvantage, you have to traverse towards Vorderalp before rejoining the ascent route on this variant. However, it can still be worth it.
Hidden Gem
In safe conditions, you can also descend to the Lumbreiner bridge. Those arriving by public transport will extend the route to Tobel (before Meierhof). This variant is not listed here.
Safety Note
Ski and snowshoe tours in unsecured terrain require good knowledge in assessing avalanche danger and tour planning. Furthermore, a complete safety equipment must always be carried - regardless of the current avalanche danger.
We recommend using the APP and website of WhiteRisk for preparation and planning the tour.
For carefree enjoyment, we recommend our mountain guides and snowshoe hiking leaders of Surselva.
