Starting from Zignau (879 m a.s.l.), the tour begins just behind the village. The initial ascent follows the alpine road at a gentle pace. As you make your way uphill, you will repeatedly emerge from the forest onto large clearings. By the time you reach Stavel la Platta, you will have already climbed nearly 1,000 meters in altitude.

On the high plateau of Alp Nadels Dadens, you can take a short break before tackling the final ascent near Cauma. The northeast-facing slope becomes increasingly steep and requires careful assessment. After approximately 400 more vertical meters, the broad summit ridge comes into view. The breathtaking panorama includes the Tödi massif and countless other peaks.

The descent follows the ascent route.

Geheimtipp

The north-facing slope requires a lot of patience after a fresh snowfall. However, it often offers the best powder conditions.

Sicherheitshinweis

Ski and snowshoe tours in unsecured terrain require solid knowledge of avalanche risk assessment and tour planning. Additionally, a complete safety kit must always be carried—regardless of the current avalanche danger.

For tour preparation and planning, we recommend the WhiteRisk app and website.

For a carefree experience, we recommend our mountain guides and snowshoe hiking guides from the Surselva region.
