Wo gehts wohl lang bei der Abfahrt vom Tällihorn?

Details

Description

In Safien Thalkirch, at the old post office, you can put on your skis immediately behind the last houses. After a good three hundred meters of ascent, you reach the huts of Alp Tscheurig at 2004 meters above sea level. The terrain then tends to get a bit steeper and the first large boulders protrude from the snow cover. This rock and scree-strewn landscape requires sufficient snow. Otherwise, the "stone grinding" on the ski base is guaranteed and passage is unfavorable.


Due to the steepness, the summit slope requires good route choice. Those who make it will be rewarded with a phenomenal panorama.


The descent is preferably made via the ascent route.

Hidden Gem

The route is also feasible from Bäch or Turrahus. These variants are longer and/or have more elevation gain.

Safety Note

Ski and snowshoe tours in unprotected terrain require good knowledge in assessing avalanche danger and tour 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.


For carefree enjoyment, we recommend our mountain guides and snowshoe hiking leaders of the Surselva.
