Critical key point on the hut approach: risk of falling and avalanches.Tips and suggestions
Sesvenna hut: https://www.sesvenna.com/Roadbook
We hike westwards at the foot of the hut slope in a hollow to the steep cirque between the two prominent rock hills. After a few hairpin bends, we reach the saddle, where it is better to descend a few meters behind to avoid the steep north ridge. In a wide left curve, we cross around this ridge over gentle slopes southwards to a bottleneck between the Schadler forepeak on the right and the Föllakopf on the left. This steep gully is overcome in a short right curve. We are now in a wide basin, which is crossed westwards towards the already visible Sesvenna notch. Above the Furkelsee, we go a little steeper in a short left curve to the broad Fuorcla Sasvenna. We turn right and follow the very broad and moderately steep south ridge. Shortly before the summit, we head for the ridge rocks. On the somewhat narrower but fairly flat summit ridge, we reach the summit cairn of the Schadler.
Descent along the ascent route.
A descent along the east ridge with a turn into the steeper south slopes also brings us back to the ascent track.
If you follow the ridge towards Piz Rims, you can first descend quite steeply right from the saddle into the east cirque towards the Schlinig Pass.
