The route starts at Leiterli at just under 2000 m above sea level and leads quite flat past the Gryden to Stüblenipass. Over hilly terrain, the Fürflue is reached, from where it is not far over the Blattigrat to the Rothore (2275 m above sea level). The descent through Stigelberg is short but beautiful. After a few good turns, the skins are remounted for the second ascent to Pörisgrat. The approximately 200 meters on the ridge are quickly managed. Now it is worth skiing/walking along the ridge to the highest point. Here, too, a break is worthwhile to enjoy the panorama of the Lenk mountains. The second descent down to Hubelmatte is never very steep but offers very nice slopes which are a real delight in powder snow.

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

  • Approach

    By car to the Betelberg gondola valley station.

  • By train to Lenk. Timetable: SBB. On foot or by bus to the valley station Betelberg. With the Betelberg gondola up to Leiterli.

    Return to Lenk station or Betelberg valley station by bus from Alpenrösli (very limited schedules) or with Taxi 4x4.

  • Free parking is available at the Betelberg valley station.

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

  • For ski routes, the appropriate equipment and necessary expertise (avalanche knowledge, alpine skills) are mandatory! Those with no experience in assessing the avalanche situation in open terrain should go on ski routes with a qualified mountain guide/snow sports instructor.

  • As with every ski route, avalanche transceiver, probe, shovel, and climbing skins are part of the equipment.

  • If the Rothore is blown free of snow by the wind, the descent from the Fürflue can be the better option.
