Piz Borel / Piz Cavradi
Route Information
Best Time of Year
Description
At the Oberalp Pass, a short descent to Alp Milez awaits us first. Here we put on our skins and follow the markings to the Maighels hut, which we leave to the left for the time being. It's a long, drawn-out descent until we reach the Maighels glacier at the height of Piz Alpetta. We gain height in regular hairpin bends and our destination, Piz Borel, is right in front of us. We head for the saddle on the far left and make a ski depot. Now we cross the rocky and partly airy ridge to the summit. At the summit cross, we can enjoy fantastic views to the north as far as the Oberalp Pass and to the south to the peaks of Ticino.
The descent over the snow-covered glacier is a dream, but unfortunately over far too quickly. Unfortunately, the valley floor is so flat that we have to put our skins back on. Then we stop off at the Maihghelshütte.
As a final highlight of the day, we climb up to Piz Cavradi where more powder snow slopes await us all the way down to Tschamut. There is an hourly train from Tschamut in both directions.
Alternative: If the wine tasted too good at lunchtime, we can save Piz Cavradi for another time and descend directly to Tschamut.
