Rother

Surselva Ski touring guide

<p>The Swiss Grisons Oberland around Vorderrhein and Hinterrhein is still an insider tip in Germany. Yet the Surselva - as a significant part of the region is known in Romansh - is an ideal ski touring area. The Rother ski touring guide presents a wide range of routes, from easy, avalanche-safe (beginner) routes on panoramic mountain ridges to challenging glacier tours (e.g. on the Tödi). Due to the high starting points of sometimes over 1500 meters, there is usually enough snow from early winter to late spring for sweeping turns on the wide slopes. Picturesque mountain villages and comfy huts round off the picture of this highly recommended ski touring region.<br><br>In the 2nd, updated edition of the ski touring guide, alpine and travel journalist Michael Pröttel, author of numerous walking and ski touring guides, presents 50 of the most beautiful ski tours in the Surselva, offering something for every taste and every weather situation. Overview maps and the three-level difficulty scale help with rough orientation. Detailed information on valley towns and starting points, altitude differences and ascent times, requirements, avalanche risk and slope orientation, orientation, best time of year, refreshment stops and tips on variants make it easier to select and plan suitable routes. Precise, reliable directions are supplemented by tour maps with marked routes, so that the reader can find their way safely even in unfamiliar terrain. In addition, numerous colorful photos arouse the anticipation of discovering the "insider tip region" Surselva.<br></p><p><span style="font-weight: bold;">Michael Pröttl | Bergverlag Rother | 2nd edition 2016 | 144 pages | 90 color illustrations, 50 tour maps at a scale of 1:50,000, two overview maps | format 11.5 x 16.5 cm | paperback with Polytex lamination</span></p>
