Beim Tomülpass mit Sicht zum Gelbhorn

A varied snowshoe tour in the rear Safiental. You will climb a pass steeped in history and a perfect snowshoe summit. The Tomül Pass has been known for centuries and is now often visited by hikers and bikers in summer. The "Polenweg", which leads over the pass, is covered by a high blanket of snow in winter.

Description

It starts at the Turrahus restaurant. If you want to fortify yourself before or after the tour, the 300-year-old Walserhaus is the right place for you. The ascent over the old pass path does not start as flat as it would be ideal for the warm-up. But you quickly gain altitude. In the area of the Falätscher Hütta, the track is a bit flatter again and you can relax well. At about 2100 meters above sea level, a short but very steep slope has to be overcome. This is often tricky and may only be committed in safe conditions. On the last 300 meters of altitude, the mountain world becomes more and more exciting and impressive. We often move close to the historic pass path, which is certainly hardly visible under the deep snow cover.

On the Tomül Pass, you can either descend again with a small additional loop on the ascent route or you can still take the Strätscherhora under your snowshoes. The beautiful plateau towards the summit is an excellent experience and definitely worth it. After about 150 meters of altitude you are on the summit and can now descend over the broad shoulder. We indicate here the variant directly to want to. However, you can also take the longer route via Alp Pianetsch. In both variants, it is essential to pay attention to the wildlife rest zones .

Sicherheitshinweis

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

We recommend the APP and website of WhiteRisk for preparation and planning of the tour.
