Description

Turrahuus is an ideal place to stay overnight and a starting point. At the beginning, the route steeply climbs along the old pass path. Then the route leads along the wide northeast shoulder to Rotflua. At P.2561, the following southeast ridge becomes narrower and partly rocky. Often it is windblown and requires some attention. The ridge can be a challenge, especially on the descent.

The reward comes at the summit. The view into the Bündner mountain world and far beyond is simply magnificent. The descent is also magnificent. Once you leave the mentioned ridge, perfect ski slopes await you that you will not forget quickly. Under safe conditions, you can also descend shortly after the summit via the steep eastern slopes.

Hidden Gem

Stopover and overnight stay nearby at Turrahus or at Gasslihof

Safety Note

Ski and snowshoe tours in unsecured terrain require good knowledge in avalanche risk assessment and route planning. Additionally, a complete safety equipment must always be carried - regardless of the current avalanche danger.

We recommend the APP and website of WhiteRisk for preparation and planning of the tour.

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