The touring trail of the Swiss Avalanche Research Institute SLF/Davos leads from Tschuggen (1964 m above sea level) on the Flüela Pass road to the 2827 m high Sentischhorn (Route 531, SAC Graubünden Ski Touring Guide). It is suitable for all ski and snowboard tourers who want to be able to ski independently in the backcountry and would like to expand their knowledge of tour planning and its implementation in the backcountry with the help of the tools offered on the trail and online. The structure of the trail follows the 3x3 filter method for checking the avalanche risk. Along the route, five display boards explain the different areas of the local and zonal hazard filter of the 3x3 system. The boards also include exercises on map reading, terrain, snow cover and route selection. The practical online preparation tool is particularly well done. Here you can play through the entire tour planning interactively and, in the event of critical or incorrect decisions, the electronic yellow card is shown to you from time to time - or you have to put up with critical questions. And if you put your preparation into practice the next day and realize which assumptions were good and correct and which were rather wrong, then you will not only have had a great day of touring in the evening, but you are guaranteed to have learned a lot. So, if you're out and about in Graubünden again, why not deepen your knowledge and improve your touring know-how! Have fun!
