Cauma ab Riein

From Riein, shortly after the start, it is mostly leisurely uphill. The wide alpine meadows are an ideal snowshoe terrain. In front of the hut of Alp da Riein it is wonderful to take an extensive rest. The view of the mountains of the Surselva is already phenomenal here. Through blueberry bushes, which are hopefully no longer visible, you now climb towards the summit slope. This has steep passages and, in appropriate conditions, requires experience in choosing the route. It can be climbed through the steep north slope or over the shoulder. Now you stand on the generous summit of the Cauma and can enjoy the phenomenal view.

We descend along the same path. Again and again, there are small variants that make the walk down exciting.

If you have the appropriate local knowledge and experience in assessing the avalanche danger, descents via the Dutjer Alp and/or the Alp da Sevgein are also possible.

In uncertain conditions, it is often only possible to climb up to Alp da Riesin. This is also a wonderful tour.
