Selected alternatives for you
    A very well-known, yet not to be underestimated variant in Zürs. The technical demand is manageable, but the long traverse south of the front and rear Hasenfluh can become critical with increasing daytime warming! However, after the steep entry into the northeast slopes, you will be rewarded with varied terrain.

    Guggis Sattel is a very well-known and popular variant in Zürs. The long south-facing traverse is tricky in strong sunshine and should therefore only be skied in the morning. After the weather station, a somewhat steeper short slope leads to wide, more spacious slopes that can be skied perfectly all the way down to Zürs.

    Author’s recommendation

    A good descent for the morning hours. Since you come out directly at the Trittkopfbahn, you should plan your day so that you do a variant in this area afterwards.

    The traverse along the south-facing slopes should be avoided as the day warms up.

    Roadbook

    From the exit of the Muggengratbahn, follow ski slope no. 10 "Muggengrat Täli" for about 50m and then enter the steep slope, which after about 100m elevation leads directly to the traverse. Then follow the south-facing traverse until you reach the weather station at Guggis Sattel. If you do not go to the saddle but turn right about 50m before, you come to another variant, the Flexenmähder.

    Once at the saddle, you have a magnificent view down to Zürs. After a short steeper drop, you find yourself in the wide spacious slopes that lead directly down to Zürs. The last part of the stage can be skied slightly south to return to the ski run in moderate terrain or (as in the GPX track) a bit more sporty near the avalanche barriers.
