Round trip Riein

The tour is not marked.

This area is probably one of the best snowshoe areas in the Surselva. Wild animals and tracks can often be observed. However, this also requires appropriate behavior towards the sensitive wildlife in winter.

The tour starts at the upper end of the village of Riein. Shortly after the reservoir, turn right onto the wide hiking trail. Later, the trail climbs over alpine meadows. One section is flatter, the other steeper. You soon arrive at the bottom of the Cuolm Sura mountain pastures. There are often different tracks here and you can take a rest before the steeper ascent to Alp da Sevgein. Once again, a flatter section offers a short rest. But now it's down to business and you climb a good 300 meters up to the Dutjer Alp. The panorama up here at over 2000 meters above sea level extends over the whole of the Surselva down to the Alpine town of Chur, the 3000-metre peaks of the Sardona chain. The subsequent descent over the broad ridge to Alp da Riein is leisurely. Now you are well run in and can jump and slide down the somewhat steeper slopes. At Darmasal you return to the ascent route and can now trudge back to Riein in a relaxed manner.
