Skiing in the Jenatsch area, above Bivio on the Julier Pass

Grisons, Julier Pass

The Julier Pass is the gateway to the Engadin and impresses with its magnificent rock formations and perfect ski touring mountains in between. Thanks to the pass, the Jenatsch region is easily accessible! We take the bus up to 2200 metres and start our ski tours from there. On the first day we climb over the Piz Surgonda and reach the secluded and lonely basin of the Chamanna Jenatsch. From then on, we set off on a new, magnificent ski tour every day and enjoy the seclusion of the Grisons mountains, bordering on the Engadin. We save one magnificent tour for the last day. Depending on the conditions, we descend from Piz d'Err to Tinizong, a full 2000 metres, or choose one of the many rewarding variants! Either way, the full variety and beauty of this unique touring area awaits us!

  • Procedure and meeting place

    • Meeting place

      11:00 Julier, La Veduta

      We meet on the Julier Pass, from where we can start directly on skis.

    • Day 1

      1000 Hm

      WS-

      We climb up the Val d'Agnel and ascend the Piz Surgonde. From here we choose the most rewarding descent and reach the basin of the Jenatschhütte. A short ascent leads us to the cosy Jenatschhütte.

    • Day 2 - 3

      ~1000 Hm

      WS

      During these two days we enjoy the countless touring possibilities around the Jenatschhütte. All exposures are open to us to make the most of the conditions. There are magnificent north-facing descents, spectacular transitions but also beautiful firn slopes. Possible tours include the Tschima da Flix, the Piz d'Err, the Fuorcla Margun or the Piz Jenatsch.

    • Day 4

      700 Hm

      2000 metres altitude

      ~WS

      Today we are looking for a pearl in this area, because we want to get as much descent as possible with as little ascent. This is quite possible, as we can ski from Piz d'Err or Tschima da Flix all the way down to the valley, which makes for a descent of around 2,000 metres with an ascent of only 700 metres.

    • Conclusion

      approx. 15:00

      Depending on the conditions, we finish the tour in Tinizong or Mulegns, from where we return home by bus or Alpine taxi.
