Flüela Wisshorn 3085 m
Davos Albula Alps Switzerland
- Length of ascent6,5 km
- ascent1360 m

Flüela Wisshorn is the most interesting ski tour around Davos. It is offered to do an interesting round with two great downhills. The north slope to the Jöriseen lakes promises powder, while the south slopes to the Flüelatal valley promise firn. The ascent is not very demanding, at the end to the summit without skis with the help of crampons, then down to Jöriseen and noc once in the nameless saddle. Finally departure to the Flüelatal. Attention, in 2019 there was a landslide of stones in the area of the ascent route, which therefore changes the ascent route.

Skvělým skialpovým vrcholem uprostřed oblasti je Monte Rosso. Výhodou okruhu je maximalistický krajinářský zážitek. Po výstupu do dvou sedel se otevřou vždy nové výhledy. Od chaty míříme nejprve do sedla Sella del Forno. Koukáme na Berninu a dolů na skiresort Valmalenco. Krásným kotlem po krátkém sjezdu traverujeme a míříme nahoru do druhého sedla – Passo di Val Bona. Po strmějším svahu do místa na skalním hřebenu, kde je skidepot. Odtud v mačkách na vrchol. Na lyžích parádní sjezd jihozápadním svahem na ledovec Forno a zpět nahoru k chatě.
