Flüela Wisshorn 3085 m

- 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.

Piz d´Err is a popular ski tour to the panoramic summit. The technically undemanding ski tour begins in Chamanna Jenatsch. The only steep section is climbing on the summit. A first class experience is under stable conditions the descent to the opposite side, western slopes to Surselva, more precisely to the village Sur, a total of 1,800 m.

The ascent to the Isenfürggli saddle is a worthwhile addition after successful descents from Pischahorn or Isentällispitz. Especially in firn conditions or fresh powder, it is a rewarding destination. From the saddle, there is a beautiful view of the Silvretta range, with the striking Piz Linard as its centerpiece.
