It is a ski tour of the locals that we reveal here. The ski tour begins with a beautiful ascent to Alp Crap Ner. From here the terrain opens up and takes on an increasingly alpine character up to the summit - flat, lonely and steep.

Description

You start just before the small village of Sogn Benedetg and follow the trail across the Siltginas farm, later through a wooded area to Alp Crap Ner. The hut invites you to take a break in front of the sunny wooden façade. The terrain is now often steeper and more alpine. In poor visibility, orientation becomes more and more challenging. About 100 meters before the summit, a decently steep slope has to be overcome. But the near and far view is simply incredible up here.

Enjoy, strap on your skis and glide back down into the valley along the ascent track. The open slopes allow a few opportunities to play up to the alp. However, please be sure to note the large wildlife rest area in the forest "Uaul dils Brens".

Geheimtipp

This tour is only recommended in good visibility and avalanche conditions.

Sicherheitshinweis

Ski and snowshoe tours in unsecured terrain require a good knowledge of avalanche risk assessment and tour planning. Furthermore, complete safety equipment must always be carried - regardless of the current avalanche risk.

We recommend using the WhiteRisk app and website to prepare and plan your tour.

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

Chapel Disentis Sedrun

Chapel of Sogn Benedetg, Sumvitg

The chapel, which was designed by Peter Zumthor, is located a few hundred meters from the old site. The timber construction integrates elements of the local building style and is both traditional and very modern. The teardrop-shaped floor plan plays with natural geometric shapes, while inside, skylights and the abundance of wood lend the room a warm and light atmosphere.
