The holiday resort of Savognin nestles among the mighty Surses mountains on the road leading over the Julier Pass. As there is very little traffic over the pass in the winter months, the snow-clad valley tends to be wonderfully peaceful at this time of year. On the other side of the Julia river is Savognin’s very own winter sports arena, extending from Piz Martegnas to Piz Cartas and from there to Radons. In addition to ski slopes, the region also boasts toboggan runs and snow-shoe trails as well as several winter hiking trails complete with fantastic views. The two-hour-long ascent from Savognin to Riom and Tigignas is one long panorama show accompanied by pretty villages and magnificent views of the mountains every inch of the way.
