Description

Thanks to the cable car to the 'Eggli' (Fanas cable car ), the Sassauna (2308 m above sea level) is easy to reach. From the mountain station of the cable car, you first ascend over the Ochsenberg on a pleasant incline, from about 2000 m above sea level increasingly steeper. It is possible to follow the SSW ridge or climb further east in the flank to the summit of Sassauna (2308 m above sea level). Nevertheless, a challenging ski tour with steep terrain in the summit area on a magnificent panoramic mountain. Nowhere are the Rätikon peaks more beautiful than when viewed from the Sassauna!

Descent to Fanas: From the summit along the ascent route to the cable car mountain station and on to the mountain huts of Furner (1709 m above sea level). Now over the beautiful southern slopes of Fatans down to the connecting road southwestwards to Casällas. Traverse westwards on the snow-covered road to Pajös and now over the last slopes down to the village of Fanas. (Variant: It can also be skied along the summer path a little below the cable car, more rewarding in the lower part, but less beautiful in the upper part.)

Alternatively, there is the descent to Schiers.

Attention! On the descent to Fanas, you cross the Forztobel-Casällas wildlife rest zone from Casällas to Pardiel - from 1.2. - 15.4. Thank you for respecting nature!
