The tour starts on the Leiterli at just under 2000 m above sea level and leads fairly flat past the Gryden to the Stübleni Pass. The Fürflue is reached via hilly terrain, from where it is not far to the Rothore (2275 m above sea level) via the Blattigrat. The descent through the Stigelberg is short but beautiful. After a few good turns, the skins are put back on for the second ascent to the Pörisgrat. The approx. 200 m ascent to the ridge is quickly mastered. Now it's worth skiing/walking along the ridge to the highest point. Here, too, it is worth taking a break to enjoy the panorama of the Lenk mountains. The second descent to Hubelmatte is never very steep, but offers very beautiful slopes, which are a real treat in powder snow.

Classification according to the SAC difficulty scale for ski tours: WS-

  • Approach

    By car to the valley station of the Betelberg cable car.

  • By train to Lenk. Timetable: SBB. Continue on foot or by bus to the Betelberg valley station. Take the Betelberg cable car to Leiterli.

    Return to Lenk railroad station or Betelberg valley station by bus from Alpenrösli (very limited travel times) or by 4x4 cab.

  • Free parking is available at the Betelberg valley station.

  • Betelberg - Stüblenipass - Fürflue - Blattigrat - Rothore - Stigelberg - Pörisgrat - Hubelmatte

  • The appropriate equipment and the necessary specialist knowledge (avalanche awareness, alpine skills) are mandatory for ski tours! If you have no experience in assessing the avalanche situation in open terrain, it is better to go on a ski tour with a trained mountain guide/snow sports instructor.

  • As with any ski tour, you need an avalanche transceiver, probe, shovel and crampons.

  • If the Rothore is blown off by the wind, the descent from the Fürflue may be the better option.
