Rotondo Uri

The Rotondo Hut lies high above the Wittenwasserental valley near Realp. Fantastically nestled in the wild granite landscape, it is the perfect base for three unforgettable days on a ski tour. Together we discover the region's most beautiful peaks and descents, make our tracks through playful terrain and enjoy the tranquil expanse of this special mountain world. Be it lonely, long descents, rewarding summit ascents or safe powder slopes in fresh snow. All options are open to us around the Rotondo hut. Away from the well-known routes, we also explore hidden crossings and less frequented tours, exactly where the ski touring heart beats faster.

Look forward to intense mountain experiences, great descents and an enjoyable time amidst impressive granite peaks. We share all of this in a motivated group and with a great deal of passion for winter!

      approx. 4 hours

      From Realp we ascend via the Tälligrat to the Rotondo hut. We enjoy an exciting ski tour on the first day and can look forward to a short but beautiful descent to the hut. Once we arrive at the hut, we enjoy the warm parlour and the hospitality of the hut team.

      WS

      approx. 6 hours

      Depending on the conditions, we will undertake one of the many rewarding ski tours in this area: the Läckihorn with a great northern descent, the Witenwasserenstock or the Pizzo Lucendro as a somewhat longer ski tour. This day will be exciting and eventful with leisurely ascents and great descents.

    • Day 3 - Final tour and departure

      600 Hm

      1700 metres altitude
