Satteltichopf 2864m

Striking and always visible, the mountain peaks of the "Breitengrad" rise above the extensive grassy slopes of the Leisalp. This impressive mountain range characterizes the eastern slope of the Valsertal not only with its well-known peaks of the Piz Aul and Faltschohorn, because the prominent hump of the Satteltichopf is often particularly visible. Past the Stafel of the Leisalp, the mighty avalanche protection dams can be viewed up close, as well as further up the enormous excavation, which at that time provided the material for the dams. The spectacular ascent through the steep slope under the Satteltilücke is another highlight, before finally the fantastic view of the village deep down in the valley can be enjoyed. 

Descent from Leisalp via the beautiful Ave-Maria-Weg and directly to the Hängelahütte to enjoy a fine snack in the middle of the Vals mountains.

From Gadastatt (1800 m, mountain station of the gondola lift, mountain restaurant) follow the signpost in 30 minutes on a slightly ascending mountain path to Stafelti (1933 m) and from there in another 30 minutes on the alpine road in the direction of Leisalp (2051 m).

Following the road for 1 hour for 15 minutes, passing two large avalanche protection dams and exceeding the third (2358 m). On the left side of the large excavation (2465 m) begins the clearly visible path, which leads through the very steep slope in 1 hour up to the Satteltilücke (2762 m) with a view of the Lugnez. The very short summit ascent (15 min.) finally leads through pathless, screeous terrain and can be easily mastered with a little head for heights.
