    Motal is suitable as a viewpoint mountain above the Poschiavo Valley for a short snowshoe route. However, the summit slope is indeed avalanche-prone, which is why we also waived the summit in January 2018.

    Safety information

    The summit slope is avalanche-prone.

    Roadbook

    From Pisciadel parallel to the Bernina Pass road to the Sfazu parking lot and on the other side of the road towards Saoseo Hut. At about 1850 m altitude, turn right over the stream to the houses of Terzana. Behind these, follow the marking uphill through the forest, describing a clockwise arc, passing the junction to Aurafreida. At about 2300 m altitude, you reach a plateau. Turn back here in case of avalanche danger; if conditions are safe, continue to the saddle between Motal and Piz dal Teo and then right to the summit of Motal.

    Return via the ascent route.
