Description

From the post bus stop Tenna, Post you walk in the direction of the Reformed Church. The route begins opposite the 16th century church and leads past old stables and barns up to the Tenner Alp. As you trudge through the snow, it feels like you are walking on a cloud. The tour offers impressive scenery in the best snowshoe terrain with little effort. From the Tenner Alp, the tour is flat at first, then climbs steadily up to the summit cross. Once you reach the Tenner Chrüz, you can enjoy a magnificent view of the Rhine Gorge, as far as Chur and the Engadin mountains. The descent to Tenner Chrüz leads through a short section of forest, past the world's first solar-powered ski lift.

As we are at the tree line, the wildlife is not far away. Stay on the route described and, above all, do not enter any other parts of the forest. The abundant black grouse and hoofed game will be grateful to you.

Geheimtipp

A visit to the church in Tenna is highly recommended. It has beautiful murals and a richly decorated wooden ceiling.

A well-earned break at the Hotel Alpenblick, the piste restaurant at the solar ski lift or the Café Tenna Hospiz.

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.

Winter is a wonderful time for us humans! Landscapes covered in deep snow, clear, pure air and a warm, cozy home waiting for you in the evening after a snowshoe tour. But for our wildlife, such as roe deer, stags and gemsboks, winter is a tough time! Every disturbance by us humans, every escape, is torture for these animals and drains their reserves. Stay on the published route! This will protect the wildlife and quiet zones.
