Zalöner Hütte in the Safien valley

See safety instructions

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

We recommend using the app and website of WhiteRisk for preparation and planning of the route.

For worry-free enjoyment, we recommend our mountain guides and snowshoe hiking leaders of the Surselva.

List of guides

From Versam along the valley road to Safien Platz. Here take the turnoff to Zalön.

There is no postal bus line to the starting point described here. Alternatively, you can start the route already in Safien Platz. Regular postal buses run here from Versam/Safien.

In front of the first houses of Inner Zalön, on the right side of the road, above a larger stable, a spot is cleared of snow.

Rental of snowshoe equipment at the Gasslihof in Thalkirch.

Shopping at the self-service shop "Spensa" in Safien Platz. Everything is available from sheepskin, honey, good pieces of meat to pottery or leather goods.

The route can be started from Safien Platz under good conditions. About 300 meters of altitude gain are added.

If the avalanche conditions are very good, an ascent is also possible on the southwestern side of the Hüttentobel between Inner Zalön and the Zalöner huts. The upper crossing has very steep side slopes.
