Description

Lumbrein is a historic mountain village situated on a rocky plateau at 1390 m above sea level. It is the starting point for the popular snowshoe tour to Um Su.

The tour starts one bend in the road below Lumbrein, in the Val da Mulin. The steepest meters are right at the beginning. After that, the tour climbs at a leisurely pace, leaving plenty of scope for route choice. After the usual “jacket stop” in Plaun d`Urdien, you climb steadily and evenly meter by meter. At 2100 meters you can cross to the small Maiensässhüttli and take a break for refreshments. The terrain remains similarly steep for the last 250 meters, but the scenery becomes increasingly impressive. One summit after another comes into view. The spacious and flat summit of Um Su is marked with a cairn.

If you don't make it to the summit, you can turn back earlier. The terrain offers rewarding variations. Our variant is listed at an altitude of 2200 meters above sea level. If you wish, you can cross to Alp Staviala Vedra from around 2000 m above sea level and descend along our route.

If you want to climb to the summit and make a round trip, take the way back via Sogn Andriu. Please pay attention to the wildlife sanctuary and stay on the route.

Geheimtipp

Back in the village of Lumbrein, the Casa d'Angel, the cultural center of the municipality of Lumnezia, is well worth a visit.

At your destination, the hosts of the restaurants in Lumbrein will be happy to spoil you with coffee and cake or even delicious Capuns.

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.
