Selected alternatives for you

    Easy to reach and extremely scenic. A rewarding ski route, not least thanks to the impressive view of the rock walls of the Rätikon massif and enjoyable descents.

    From the winter parking lot (P5) in Rüti (1460 m asl), first follow the winter access path (closed to public traffic in winter) toward Partnun. The path is also used by pedestrians and sledders as an access to the mountain huts. After about half an hour you leave the valley floor (height of Ronenegg 1649 m asl) and cross over a wooden bridge to the left side of the valley, where you more or less follow the summer trail toward Alp Garschina. When you reach the plateau "Ganda," scattered with boulders, the route soon leads left up to Schafberg (north of point 2249). This summit approach is quite steep; alternatively, you can reach the summit via the northeastern ridge. 

    Author’s recommendation

    The ski tour to Schafberg can ideally be combined with the route to Girenspitz. Two magnificent ski tour summits right next to each other!
