Description

The route starts in Inner Zalön, a small and sun-drenched hamlet in the Safiental valley. The best way to start is via the forest road to the stream at Hüttatobel. Now leave the alpine road and climb steadily up over beautiful alpine meadows. The views of the Piz Beverin opposite and the other mighty peaks of the Safiental become increasingly beautiful. At the Zalön huts, you can choose a hut that is not currently inhabited and enjoy a well-earned break. It goes without saying that you should take your garbage with you.

The descent can be freely chosen. If the avalanche risk is high, you should not head too far out of the valley, as you will always encounter steeper slopes there. The easiest way to finish is to jump down in a straight line to the starting point.

Geheimtipp

The tour can be done from Safien Platz in good conditions. It adds about 300 meters in altitude.

If the avalanche conditions are very good, an ascent is also possible between Inner Zalön and the Zalöner Hütten on the south-western side of the Hüttentobel. The uppermost passage has very steep side slopes.

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.
