Curvér Pintg da Taspegn (2730 m) - snow shoe hike from Salouf

Great snow shoe hike to the summit of Curvér Pintg da Taspegn, with start and end in Salouf.

Start of the hike in Salouf shortly before 9 AM. The temperature was around -1°C, and it was partially cloudy. I followed the snow covered forest road up towards Sars. There was a snowmobile track all the way to Som igls Mellens at elevation 1950 m, so I didn't mount the snow shoes before getting up there. Meanwhile it had become sunny with blue skies.

Next, I continued up towards Ziteil, and up to the ridge at elevation 2700 m. Then I followed the ridge past P.2744 to the main summit of Curvér Pintg da Taspegn. In some places on the ridge there was no snow, and I had to take off the snow shoes and go on foot.

Near the main summit of Curvér Pintg da Taspegn I enjoyed my late lunch, before I headed back down across Furcletta. I just made it back to Salouf before it was getting dark. It was a long hike, but the weather was great, and the view was magnificent!
