01/ Overview

The route

Snowshoe hike on the ski training slope at Bergün and on to the Bergünerstein, which once impeded travel from Filisur to Bergün. The route back goes by the edge of the forest with views of the railway village of Bergün, the Val Tuors and the Albula.

The snowshoe tour starts at the sawmill in Bergün, about 130 m from the Bergün/Bravuogn, posta stop. Immediately the trail passes the inn La Posina and leads through the first houses of the village. The Reformed church is prominent in the village; it stands at the southeastern village exit toward the Albula Pass and is listed as a cantonal heritage site.

Leaving the settlement the route enters the protective forest; the first, steeper section climbs upward. Above the trees the terrain opens into wide alpine pastures with an open view of Piz Radond. About halfway the tour reaches its highest point below Piz Radond, at roughly 1,540 m. Some sections run without a distinct path across open slopes. The loop covers about 5 km, gains approximately 280 metres of ascent and takes roughly two and a half hours before returning to the sawmill in Bergün.

03/ Conditions

Current conditions

What to know before you set off. Closures and snow are re-checked every day.

  • How we check: Every night we match the route against the official closures and detours from the Federal Roads Office (FEDRO). Any reported closure that touches the route shows up here.

  • Snowshoeing is more fun in the snow! Check local conditions before heading out.

    How we check: SLF only publishes its snow maps from November 1. Until then we roughly estimate the snow depth at the lowest and the highest point of the route every day from the nearest SLF measuring stations. Check the situation on site.

Snow Info

Rough estimate
SLF only publishes its snow maps from November 1 to June 30. Until then we estimate the snow depth from the nearest SLF measuring stations, so it can look quite different on the ground.
