Piz Ot - Samedan

Reto Hobi

Wunderschöner Gipfel, Rute ab Samedan!!!

Patrick Roos (derBergler.com)

Im Aufstieg ab Samedan und durch das Valetta durchwandert man unterschiedliche alpine Zonen. Von Alpwiesen über sommeralpen zu kargen Matten und schlussendlich steht man am kleinen See unterhal bes Piz de la Funtauna.
Von hier gehts dann steil aufwärts in den Fels. Absturzstellen sind teilweise mit Seilen oder gar Geländer gesichert, sodass ausser Trittsicherheit und Schwindeklfreiheit und Ausdauer keine weiteren Anforderungen bestehen.

Wir waren gerade gestern oben, wobei der letzte Teil sehr steil ist und leider zu dieser Jahreszeit schon schnee hat, was die ganze Sache massiv gefährlicher macht. Daher sollte man diese Tour schon im Sommer machen und nicht erst im Herbst

I may well have been the last hiker on Piz Ot this season (I hiked Oct 2, 2022, after some snowfall). It is a fantastic hike, but I want to share my experience by warning you. During the summer, I have read this is a stunning, and already demanding hike. BUT: if there has been snow fall, think twice before hiking this trail. It gets really treacherous near the top, and accidents may happen.

In snow, you need (light) crampons and poles, and at the steepest parts maybe even an ice axe. Or maybe not hike it in the late season.

Until 3000 meters of elevation it was not a big problem to hike in the snow. There is a little top / plateau just before you have start hiking the last steeper part to the top (3246m). If there is quite some snow on the trail, it is best to turn around at 3000m - I should have done it. Right after this place, you have to cross an uphill scree field. Between the boulders, there are cracks, and with the snow, you cannot see them. It was a mine field. After this, the trail gets super steep. If you slip, you fall a long way. On the flatter parts at the foot of the mountain, there was maybe 10 cm of snow. But on the mountain slope, it had blown together in certain places, creating fields with varying snow depths, up to one meter. I had to dig out the chains and dig a path to make sure I would have good grip, also on the way down.

The views on the top were amazing, but I was just thinking about the way down. As said, I share this experience to admit my judgement error, so others do not get in the same situation.

From Celerina, I took the gondola to Marguns. From here, I hiked via Las Trais Fluors and Fuorcla Valletta to Piz Ot, after which I hiked around Piz Padella on the eastern side and down to Celerina. 17,5 km with 1200 meter of ascend and 1700 meters of descend.

We all hike on our own responsibility. But additional information about the trail conditions could be relevant to give at Marguns station.

Zaskoczyła mnie ilość balustrad i łańcuchów, ktoś powiefmdzial,że tylko ruchomych schodów brak. Ale wędrówka z Celerina piekna, widok że szczytu cuuuudowny!
