Route description

Variant: Elm - Tschinglen without the cable car

From Elm Geeren follow the marked footpath along the imposing Tschinglen gorge to Niederenalp at 1480 m. Top station of the cable car.

Niederenalp - Segnespass

From the Niederenalp follow the marked footpath, through sometimes quite steep terrain up to Segnespass.

Segnespass - Piz Segnas

From Segnespass (if ascending from Flims you do not cross the pass) contour along below the west ridge, then continue northeast up the broad slope. At the upper rock band, depending on the snow conditions, you can either climb the projecting rubble covered slabs directly, or bear right to the snowy groove beside it to gain the saddle between Piz Segnas and its southern summit (P. 3010). Follow the ridge easily to the top.
