This classic ski tour crosses the Splügen Pass and connects the Swiss Rhine Forest with the Italian Valchiavenna. You start in the historic village of Splügen (1457 m above sea level).

The tour offers you the choice: Either the ambitious ascent over the Tanazhöhe or the ascent along the pass road (partly with lift support) to the Passo dello Spluga (2114 m above sea level).

After crossing the pass, there is a long descent into Montespluga (1905 m above sea level) in Italy. The high alpine route guarantees wide views and an impressive alpine pass experience.

Description

Our destination for the day is Monte Spluga 1905 m above sea level on the other side of the Splügen Pass

This classic ski tour is an impressive pass crossing that connects the Swiss Rhine Forest with the Italian Valchiavenna. It begins in the historic pass village of Splügen (1457 m above sea level) and leads you into the high alpine mountain world of the Splügen Pass. To achieve this goal, we are spoilt for choice. Either ambitiously over the Tanazhöhe or with the help of the ski lift over the pass road over the Passo dello Spluga 2114 m above sea level.

The ascent follows the historic route of the pass in a southerly direction. First you gain altitude through sparse forest sections, before the terrain opens up dramatically and you enter the vastness of the pass landscape.

Safety Note

The ski and snowshoe routes are to be understood as general directions. Depending on the conditions, ascent and descent routes have to be adapted. Walking routes in alpine terrain requires good physical condition, serious preparation and technical knowledge of mountain sports. The ascent of the described routes is at your own risk. For safe mountain sports, Viamala Tourism recommends training under expert guidance or a guided ski tour by trained mountain guides.
