One of the most famous Haute Routes in the Alps, which cannot be missed in the logbook of those who love to travel on skis. We are on the border between Switzerland and Austria, in a territory of picturesque green valleys against a backdrop of sparkling glaciers and peaks that – although they do not reach excessive heights – impose themselves on the eye with their sharp forms. The Silvretta tour allows you to reach one of these peaks every day – including Piz Buin, also known to laypeople thanks to the sunscreens that adopted its name – in a completely natural way and without using ski lifts: a beautiful way to explore these mountains in the season when they present themselves in their most elegant guise.
Travel program
Day 1: Meeting of participants in the pretty village of Guarda (possible collective travel by minibus upon request of the group). After a briefing with individual equipment checks, we set off for Chamanna Tuoi (2250 m) with an altitude climb of around 600 meters. Dinner and overnight stay
Day 2: Breakfast and departure immediately from the refuge, climbing up wide and panoramic slopes and reaching the JamJoch (3078 m) after approximately 800 meters of altitude difference and passing the Vadret Tuoi. From here with a hundred meters on easy rocks to the summit of Jam Spitze (3156 m). From the summit you descend briefly onto the Jamtalferner glacier, and then climb up along beautiful slopes to Gems Spitze (3107 m). A long and fun descent in a grandiose environment leads to Jamtal Hutte (2165 m). Dinner and overnight stay.
Day 3: After breakfast, we set off again after about three hundred meters of altitude difference on the Jamgletscher to reach the Ochsenscharte (2960 m). After passing the depression of the hill, you climb the steep final slopes of the beautiful peak of the Dreilander Spitze (3197 m). From the summit, a magnificent descent to the Wiesbadener Hutte (2440 m). Dinner and overnight stay.
Day 4: Breakfast before dawn and departure with the first light of day to climb the Ochsentaler Gletscher to the Buinlucke and finally reach – with crampons on – the summit of Piz Buin (3312 m). After returning to the pass and a brief descent on the glacier, we climb up to the Fourcla del Cunfin (3034 m). A beautiful descent on the Swiss side allows us to cross the Silvrettapass and then ski along the glacier of the same name, finally arriving at the Silvretta Hutte (2341 m). Dinner and overnight stay.
Day 5: The final stage of the tour takes us back to the village of Guarda by crossing Col Rai, reached via the Silvretta Gletscher. After returning to the Silvretta Pass, we descend onto the La Cudera glacier to then reach Plan Rai: from here you can reach the summit of Piz Fliana along a spectacular ridge. The following descent takes us back to Val Tuoi passing again by Chamanna Tuoi, the first day's stop of the tour.
