Approximate time: 5-7 hours

Day 2: Jamtal Hutte Hut – Ascent: Hinter Jam Spitze (3.156m) – Jamtal Hutte. the Jamtal Hutte (2.165m). 

As a way of acclimatization and as a different day we will make the ascent on skis up to almost the vicinity of the summit to the Hinter Jam Spitze of 3.156m. Easy and affordable mountain with an impressive panoramic view of the area. Great descent on skis and overnight stay in the Jamtalhutte hut.

Positive difference in altitude: 991m.

Day 3: Jamtal Hutte (2.165m) – Obere Ochseuscharte 2.970m – Wiesbadener Hutte (2.443m). and/or Dreilander Spitze (3.197m). 

We change slope and jump to the valley that presides over the King of the area, the Piz Buin. We go through some big crevasses of the glacier and in a progressive and smooth way we will arrive to the alpine pass of Obere Ochseuscharte and ski to the door of the refuge.

Positive difference in altitude: 805m

Negative difference in altitude: 805m

Approximate time: 4-6 hours

Day 4: Wiesbadener Hutte (2.443m) – Fourcla dal Cunfin ( 3.043m ) – Chamona Tuoi Hut ( 2.250m ) 

Today we will get up very early to undertake one of the most technical stages of the trek because we will have to climb up to the plateau of the Piz Buin Glacier through steep snow slopes, overcoming the famous pass of the Fourcla dal Cunfin. We are in Switzerland and through very wild and spectacular terrain we will only have to ski down to the genuine Chamonna Tuoi refuge, usually buried by snow up to its windows.

Positive difference in altitude: 600m

Negative difference in altitude: 800m

Approximate time: 5-7 hours

Day 5: Chamona Tuoi Hut ( 2.250m ) – Vermutjock ( 2.800m ) – Weisbadenerhutte ( 2.443m ) – Bieltalkopfjock (2.728m) – Wirl (1.624m) 

Last stage of the traverse. We put on the sealskins on our skis to ascend the steep slope that we will have to overcome at the beginning (sometimes with blades or crampons) to reach the pass of Vermutjock. Now by smooth terrain we will arrive skiing again until the refuge of Weisbadenerhutte and short climb with skins to jump to the contiguous valley of Bieltalbach where we will only have to let us fall until the last point of the traverse where we will be picked up by a bus line that will take us to the Hotel where a good shower and a well-deserved succulent dinner awaits us.

Positive difference in altitude: 850m

Negative difference in altitude: 1.500m

Approximate time: 6-8 hours
