An easy pleasure route in the middle Safien valley. The Zalöner huts are a perfect place for sun-loving pleasure seekers.
Details
Description
Start in Inner Zalön, a small and sun-drenched hamlet in the Safien valley. To warm up, it is best to start along the forest road to the stream at the Hüttatobel. Now leave the alpine road and ascend continuously over beautiful alpine meadows. The views to the opposite Piz Beverin and the other mighty peaks of the Safien valley become increasingly beautiful. At the Zalöner huts, you can choose a currently uninhabited hut and enjoy the well-deserved break. Of course, take your waste with you.
The descent can be chosen freely. If avalanche danger is increased, you should not descend too much towards the valley, as there are always steeper slopes there. At the end, it is easiest to jump straight down to the starting point.
Hidden Gem
The route can be started from Safien Platz under good conditions. About 300 meters of altitude gain are added.
If the avalanche conditions are very good, an ascent is also possible on the southwestern side of the Hüttentobel between Inner Zalön and the Zalöner huts. The upper crossing has very steep side slopes.
Safety Note
Ski and snowshoe tours in unsecured terrain require good knowledge in assessing avalanche danger and tour planning. Furthermore, a complete safety equipment must always be carried - regardless of the current avalanche danger.
We recommend using the app and website of WhiteRisk for preparation and planning of the route.
For worry-free enjoyment, we recommend our mountain guides and snowshoe hiking leaders of the Surselva.
