Details

Description

First over flat terrain via the lower Segnesboden, from point 2092 continue northeast along the slightly rolling ascent towards the upper Segnesboden. With skillful route choice and careful assessment of the terrain, a line choice that just barely does not exceed 30 degrees is possible. Then continue over the flat upper Segnesboden and then increasingly uphill in northwestern direction to the Surenjoch. With partially 45° steep sections, the key point of the ski route. After a further 157 m in southern direction along the ridge, you reach the 3099 m high summit of Piz Segnas. Descent along the ascent route. Alternatively, Piz Sardona can still be done.

Hidden Gem

Those who want to do a second summit can still climb Piz Sardona.

Safety Note

Legal note - Disclaimer / Liability

Ski and snowshoe route

The ski and snowshoe routes are to be understood as general indications. Depending on conditions, ascent and descent routes must be adapted. No guarantee can be given for the accuracy, completeness, and timeliness of the information.

Engaging in ski touring in open and unsecured terrain is at your own risk. Each route user is strongly advised to prepare thoroughly, plan the route, and obtain current information on snow and avalanche conditions.

Liability for accidents resulting from the use of the published information and route indications is excluded.

This route description and any markings in the terrain do not constitute a route recommendation. Every decision to proceed lies solely with the individual route user. It is strongly advised not to attempt routes in poor weather and visibility conditions (fog, snowfall, etc.) or under increased avalanche danger. Attention spring conditions: From about March and generally on warm and/or very sunny days, routes must be ended early.

Inform yourself before each tour about the current snow and avalanche situation at www.slf.ch/lawinenbulletin

We recommend completing ski and snowshoe tours in alpine and high alpine terrain with a mountain guide.

It is each tour user's responsibility to equip themselves fully and inform themselves about snow and avalanche conditions before the tour. Flims Laax Falera Management AG accepts no liability.
