Impressive ski tour, past the lower and upper Segnesboden, up to the Fil de Cassons. The route always runs parallel to the border of the UNESCO World Heritage parameter and offers unique views.

From the Blessing Hut it is a flat stretch over the lower Blessing Ground. From point 2092 the ascent begins in northeasterly direction on a ridge. After 230 meters of altitude difference you reach the upper Segensboden. The trail continues in a westerly direction to the Fil de Cassons. Always on the right hand side with a wonderful view and on the left hand side the upper Segensboden.For a safe descent via Ils Cugns and Sura Cassons to Startgels good conditions are necessary.
Author’s recommendation
Take a look at the UNESCO visitors' pavilion next to the Segneshütte to learn more about the formation of the Alps and UNESCO World Heritage.
