Itinerary – 5 Days Silvretta Ski Traverse

Day 1 – Ascent to the Heidelberger Hut (2,264 m)

Meeting point at 1:00 p.m. in Ischgl at the Heidelberger Hut parking area.After a quick gear check, we hike about ten minutes to the Val Gronda cable carand ride comfortably up to 2,812 m. From there, the ski traverse beginswith a pleasant descent to the Heidelberger Hut, our accommodation for the night.

Descent 550 m Duration approx. 1 h

Day 2 – Breite Krone (3,079 m)

Our first 3000 m peak awaits: the Breite Krone.After a steady ascent, we enjoy the spectacular view across the Silvretta glaciers and surrounding peaks.Then we ski down via the Kronenjoch (2,980 m) to the Jamtal Hut (2,165 m), our next stop.

Ascent 815 m Descent 915 m Duration approx. 3 h

Day 3 – Dreiländerspitze (3,197 m)

After breakfast, we set off toward the Ochsenscharte and continue to the well-known Dreiländerspitze.Just below the summit, we leave our skis, put on crampons, and climb a short exposed ridge (grade II) on rope to the top.After taking in the view from the border of Austria, Switzerland and Italy,we descend back to the ski depot and enjoy a long run through the Ochsental to the Wiesbadener Hut (2,443 m).

Ascent 1,100 m Descent 1,000 m Duration 5 – 6 h

Day 4 – Piz Buin (3,312 m)

Today’s highlight is the Piz Buin, the highest peak in the Silvretta.We ascend via the Ochsental Glacier to the Buin Col (3,054 m)and climb the final section in easy mixed terrain (grade II) with crampons.After the summit experience, we ski back down to the Wiesbadener Hut,where we may stay for another night depending on conditions –since the descent to the valley can be avalanche-prone in the afternoon.

Ascent 870 m Descent 870 m Duration approx. 3.5 h

Day 5 – Descent to the Valley & Return to Ischgl

After breakfast, we enjoy a long, panoramic descentthrough the Ochsental to the Bielerhöhe (2,036 m) and further down to Wirl (1,640 m).From there, we return by ski bus to Ischgl.If snow or safety conditions make the Ochsental descent unsuitable,we choose the safe alternative via the Bieltal.
