Trail running in the Prättigau near GolrosaPhoto: Prättigau
Pure trailrunning pleasure in the front Prättigau! This highlight offers beautiful panorama and demanding trails on lonely paths.
From the mountain station of the Luftseilbahn Fanas a singletrail passes high moor over alpine pastures uphill to Luderer Egg. On this ridge you turn sharply right into a wide basin, which you first cross downhill and then with constant ups and downs. Then it goes downhill longer to the Valser Bach, over which a small wooden bridge leads. Past Vordersäss it goes towards Golrosa. Here fantastic views open up of the Kirchlispitzen and Drusenfluh. At Fadurer Fürggli we switch to the other side of the mountain ridge, where a meadow path with many steep ascents leads back to the SE ridge of the Sassauna. Past the huts near Huoben it goes back over an alpine path to the mountain house Sassauna, which is located directly next to the starting point.

Author’s recommendation
- Technically skilled trailrunners can still include the Sassauna in the route:
From the starting point at the mountain station of the Luftseilbahn Fanas, cross on an alpine path to the huts near Huoben. The following ascent to the Sassauna is tough: initially, it leads along a mountain ridge to a trail junction at 2000m. Here the path disappears, but if you head towards the SE ridge, you can’t go wrong. On the ridge the trail is visible again and winds steeply towards the summit. The descent via the west ridge is technically challenging and partly exposed, especially when wet. From Luderer Egg you can follow the described route... - Treat yourself to a break on the terrace of the mountain inn Sassauna at the end.
Derived from the technical difficulty and the stamina requirements.
