Description

The stage from the Cufercal Hut to Sufers takes you from the remote Cufercal Hut SAC (2385 m above sea level) through the heart of the Beverin Nature Park down into the Rheinwald. The tour offers a long and spectacular descent that delights experienced ski tourers.

After a short ascent near Piz Calandari, you can look forward to an enjoyable descent section. The route follows wide, open slopes, past Versols and Grusobli, and finally sinks into the silence of the Bündner mountains. You will be constantly accompanied by a magnificent panorama of Lake Sufner, glittering deep in the valley.

The tour ends in the village of Sufers (1539 m above sea level), which offers direct access to public transport (post bus) – perfect for starting the journey home or ending the tour in Splügen.

Hidden Gem

An early start is worth it! The descent slopes towards Sufers are often beautiful and the views of Lake Sufner fantastic.
