This ski tour traverses almost the entire cirque of Vadret da Grialetsch. The moraines way below the ascent route give an idea of the size of the glacier during the Little Ice Age.
Route description
Chamanna da Grialetsch - Piz Sarsura

Without losing too much vertical height, continue in the same direction to set foot on Vadret da Grialetsch. Pass south of Isla Persa (2849 m) until below Fuorcla Barlas-ch (3013 m). Ascending eastward, you reach the steep W face. Ascend it until the N ridge. On the ridge you easily reach the summit.
