Flims UNESCO World Heritage Site: Piz Segnas, the three-thousand-meter peak!
Overview
Intro
Hike up Piz Segnas, a 3,000-meter peak, and enjoy the fantastic panoramic views all around you in the heart of the Sardona Tectonic Arena, a UNESCO World Natural Heritage Site!
One of the most rewarding destinations in the Flims mountain range is the panoramic 3,000-meter peak Piz Segnas. It lies in the heart of the Sardona Tectonic Arena, a unique UNESCO World Natural Heritage Site.
Take the FlemXpress to the Segnes Hut, then hike across the impressive alluvial plain of Unterer Segnesboden toward the southwest flank. From here, the Martinsloch is clearly visible and will remain a prominent feature along the way. The ascent to the summit cairn soon becomes off-trail, with some T4 sections. The panoramic view is simply magnificent! A traverse to Piz Sardona is possible.
The descent follows the same route at first, then crosses over to the even more impressive alluvial plain of Oberer Segnesboden. Here you’ll find fossilized oysters, and soon the Segnes Hut comes into view again, where this eventful hike comes to an end.
The ascent on the southwest flank requires sure-footedness, a head for heights, and good physical conditioning.
Additional costs include: travel to and from Laax, and a hiking ticket for the mountain railways.
Difficulty: challenging, up to T4
Hiking time: 6 1/4 hours
Elevation gain/loss: 1,270 m
Group size: max. 5 people
The hike leader and GeoGuide will provide tips for navigating T4 terrain and information about the World Heritage Site.
