Selun is a long, gently ascending ridge, with no difficulties for ski tourists or snowshoe hikers. Since it is exposed, it is often wind-swept. Before reaching ideal terrain for skiing, tourists must negotiate the long steep ascent (400 metres vertical height) on a road through a thick, steep forest.

Route description

Crux

The crux of this tour is the steep and narrow alp access road from Starkenbach above 1200 m through the Selun forest. On the way down, advanced skiing skills (stem turns in narrow terrain) are required.

Remarks

Beware of the cornices (some are huge) on the eastern rim of the ridge and on the summit! Beware also of the karst holes between the Strichboden and the summit slope!

Please do not leave the road (game and forest protection).
