Sas Ciampac, Adang guide

Approach:

Since 2023, parking is no longer possible at the first hairpin before the Grödnerjoch. The parking spaces have been barricaded with earthen embankments.

The track was created afterwards!

From Grödnerjoch take hiking trail 2 towards Jimmy Hut, after about 140 meters turn right onto hiking trail 8 towards Forceles shelter (east).

Follow this until Heustabl appears, the forest clears, a path becomes visible. Here you now ascend left (north) to the southeast face of Sas Ciampac. You reach the start by crossing the visible grass band from right to left, 1 hour 20 minutes. Warning! If you are at the Forceles hut, you have gone too far.

Climbing route from 2015:
