Sassauna - Abfahrt Schiers

Thanks to the cable car to the 'Eggli' (Fanas cable car), the Sassauna (2308 m above.M sea level) is easy to reach. From the mountain station of the cable car you climb over the Ochsenberg first in a pleasant incline, from about 2000 m above sea level .M increasingly steeper. It is possible to follow the SSW ridge, or climb further east in the flank. The steeper summit slopes form the key point of the tour and are challenging before you are rewarded with a magnificent summit panorama on the summit of Sassauna (2308 m above sea.M level).

Descent to Schiers: From the summit to about 2000 m above sea level.M along the ascent route, then continue to the right (eastwards) to the huts of Huoben (about 1720 m above sea level.M.). Now southwards over partly open, partly wooded terrain quite steeply downhill and over Sponda or Spinis to Lasein (1076 m above sea level.M., road cleared to this point). Continue over the open slopes of the Marier Berg in the direction of Montagna and Schiers.

Alternative: Departure to Fanas
