Description

This is how you imagine ski tours. Open slopes with plenty of space for great turns, a warming wooden wall at a hut for a break and a panorama at the summit that never ceases to amaze.

The tour is best started from Inner Zalön. However, it is also possible to start 300 meters further down, in Safien Platz. At the beginning, we follow the tracks over the first slope and over the “Hütta Tobel”. A road serves as a guide. We soon spot the Zalön huts and can look forward to a short break. The tree line is now definitely reached and the slopes become even more open. Even those who enjoy the ascent will see the huge potential for generous turns on the descent.

The last upswing to the ridge has a few places over 30 degrees and requires a good choice of route in challenging conditions. Caution is also required on the last two meters. Because now you could almost be frightened by the slowly appearing panorama. The view up here is always brilliant.

The descent follows the ascent route, although the generous slopes allow for different variations.

Our tip is NOT to descend through the forest on the other side of the ravine at the end of the descent. On the one hand, the descent is not very rewarding and on the other hand, the wild animals that find shelter and food here will thank you.

Geheimtipp

At the end of the descent, DO NOT descend through the forest on the SW side of the Hüttatobel. On the one hand, the descent is not very rewarding and on the other hand, the wild animals that find shelter and food here will thank you.

Sicherheitshinweis

Ski and snowshoe tours in unsecured terrain require solid knowledge of avalanche risk assessment and tour planning. Additionally, a complete safety kit must always be carried—regardless of the current avalanche danger.

We recommend using the WhiteRisk app and website for tour preparation and planning.

For a carefree experience, we suggest booking one of our mountain guides or snowshoe hiking guides in the Surselva region.
