Pischagrat and Mattjisch Tälli - ski tour
Early season opener ski tour in the Pischa area. Perfect weather with blue skies and light winds. Mixed snow conditions, but quite a lot of powder after all! I started my ski tour at 9:00 in the morning at the parking lot for the Pischa aerial cable car. The temperature was -4°C when I started. I followed the (snow-covered)...

Corn Alv (2992 m) and Piz Campagnung (2825 m)
This was a really nice hike in picture perfect weather with blue skies and not a single cloud! Amazing weather and mild temperatures given that we are already in November. Start of the hike at 09:15 at the Julier pass road (La Veduta). The temperature was about -2°C, but as soon as I started hiking it felt much warmer in the...

Gfroren Horn (2746 m) - hike from Sertig
Start of the hike at 9:30 in Sertig Sand. From Feelabach, I followed an unmarked path in direction Senetrizfurgga. The plan was to ascend from elevation 2300 m on the NW ridge to the summit of Gfroren Horn. However, to do so, I would have had to cross a lot of rubble, and the grounds were partially snow covered. So, instead I...

Tiaun (2704 m) - bike & hike from Davos Wiesen
---English text below--- Da dies der erste hikr Bericht für Tiaun ist, habe ich mich entschieden den Bericht auch auf Deutsch zu schreiben. Tiaun (2704 m) ist ein Gipfel oberhalb von Davos Wiesen, welcher bis heute auf hikr.org nicht beschrieben wurde. Woran das wohl liegen könnte? Der Gipfel sieht von der Wiesner Alp aus...

Muchetta (2622 m) - bike & hike from Filisur
Muchetta is a mountain east of and above the village Filisur. There is a white-red-white marked trail all the way from Filisur up to the summit, but this ascent implies a hefty 1600 m elevation gain. To at least make the descent a bit easier on the knees, I brought my mountain bike along. I mostly walked the bike uphill on the...

Tgapeala Cotschna (2712 m) - bike & hike from Alvaneu Dorf
Tgapeala Cotschna is a peak above the village called Alvaneu Dorf. Until now it had only been been described twice here on hikr.org, and in both cases it was a ski tour. I started my hike just above the village Alvaneu Dorf at elevation 1250 m. There is a small parking lot at the end of the road. To drive further up, a special...

Chrachenhorn (2891 m) - hike from Sertig
Start of the hike around 9 o'clock in Sertig. I followed the white-red-white marked trail in direction Fanezfurgga. The Ducan valley is really scenic, and the weather was picture perfect with blue skies and not a single cloud! I spotted a few marmots on the way. From Fanezfurgga, I hiked up along the Chrachenhorn NE ridge,...

Piz Calderas (3397 m) - hike from Alp Flix
In this hike to Piz Calderas (3397 m), I ascended through Tellers Davains, and the L-couloir on the west side of the mountain. Later I descended on the southeast side, and then I headed down a couloir towards Plang Lung. I started my hike in Alp Flix at elevation 1915 m. I followed the roads to Tgalucas, and then a trail in...

Bifertenhütte (2482 m)
Nice hike to the Biferten Hütte (mountain lodge) together with my wife. The weather was great, and we enjoyed magnificent views to the surrounding mountains. Shortly before reaching Burleun on the way back, it looked like a thunderstorm might come our way. But the clouds passed and nothing happened.

Piz Sarsura Pitschen (3134 m) - hike from Dürrboden
Start of the hike at 08:15 in Dürrboden. The temperature was only about 3°C, so it was a rather chilly morning. I had planned to do this hike already two weeks earlier while we were in Davos on vacation, but the weather was not that great then. From Dürrboden I followed thewhite-red-white marked trail to the Grialetsch hut...

Piz Laviner (3137 m) - bike & hike from Tinizong
Piz Laviner (3137 m) is a peak which requires quite a long ascent/descent when you start from Tinizong or Savognin. But when making it a combination of bike & hike, it becomes much more manageable. Start of the hike just above the village of Tinizong at elevation 1320 m. I followed the alp road in direction Alp d'Err,...

Piz Blaisun (3200 m) via SSW ridge
In most hike reports for Piz Blaisun, the routes are either via the north ridge, or via the east ridge. In this report I describe the ascent on the SSW ridge, which is the most direct way to reach the summit. Start of the hike shortly before 10:00 at the Albula pass road (P.2292 on the newer maps). I ascended more or less...

Seehorn (2238 m) - late afternoon hike
Late afternoon "speed" hike from Davos Dorf to Seehorn (2238 m). The trail was a little bit wet, but manageable just with normal running shoes. The view from the summit was limited due to some fog. At least I only encountered a few raindrops on the way. Equipment: Running shoes and a light backpack. Total hiking distance: 8 km

Hike from Dürrboden to the Grialetsch hut together with my wife. The weather was not great, but at least we only encountered a few raindrops. There was fresh snow above elevation 2500 m. We had a great lunch at the Grialetsch hut.

Flüela Schwarzhorn (3146 m) from the Flüela pass
Nice hike to Flüela Schwarzhorn with my youngest son (11 y). We followed the white-red-white marked trail from the Flüela pass road to the summit of Flüela Schwarzhorn. In my opinion, the difficulty is T2 all the way if you stay on the marked trail. The fresh snow from the past week had almost entirely melted away, so it did...

Piz Surgonda (3196 m) and a few more peaks
This hike was mainly inspired by hike reports from ivo66 describing various hikes in the area. It ended up being a really nice hike with picture perfect weather in the morning. But it was also quite strenuous with the craggy and rocky grounds, and all the loose scree. Start of the hike at 7:00 at the Julier pass road (La...

Scalettahorn (3068 m) via west ridge
I could not find any hikr reports covering the entire west ridge to Scalettahorn, so I decided to go and take a look myself. From the map and pictures it did not appear that difficult. But of course the easier way is to only ascend onto the ridge when you reach the glacier. Start of the hike shortly after 8:00 in Dürrboden. I...

For the final ascent, there are some small cairns and an unmarked trail showing the way. Overall, the difficulty of the ascent I would...

During the ascent towardsPiz Grevasalvas, I tried out a new option for getting more easily up to the ridge between P.2724 and P.2794. During the descent from Piz Grevasalvas, I also tried out a new...
