This guide uses the same difficulty evaluation of the SAC ski route guides. If the
routes are described in the SAC Skitourenführer Zentralschweiz-Tessin (1993), the
difficulty evaluation was taken from there. The other routes were estimated by the author
according to the criteria specified below.
The difficulty evaluation covers only the route to the ski depot and the descend from
there.
| MS |
Average skier Landscape: Flat to moderately steep. Only a few, short
steep spots. Bottlenecks are flat or can be well slipped sideward. No or few ditches and
embossments. Slipping danger small. |
| GS |
Good skier Landscape: Moderately steep to steep area. Steep passages
offer still much freedom of movement. Some bottlenecks require swings. Increases ditches
and embossment. Slipping danger. |
| SGS |
Very good skier Landscape: Steep to very steep area, which must usually
be mastered in the direct fall line. Many bottlenecks, often consecutively. Narrow ridges,
which are to be driven off with short swings in the fall line. Rough area. To slip can
lead to serious consequences (falling over rock faces or into deep ditches, etc.). |
| MAS |
Average alpine skier |
Landscape and ski-technical difficulties are the same as for MS, GS and
SGS, but with the additional alpine difficulties which are outlined below |
| GAS |
Good alpine skier |
| SGAS |
Very good alpine skier |
| Additional dangers and challenges for MAS, GAS, and SGAS:
Glacier crevasses, sections of the way where steps must be made with the ice axe, sections
of the way which are done with the skis on the backpack, climbing may be required. The use
of rope, ice axe and crampons may be necessary. |
Military Hut at the Ronggergrat, approx. 250m east the Witenwasseren Est
Summit
