Route description
Tschuggen - Sentisch Horn
From the parking lot above Tschuggen (P. 1964) follow the road across Flüelapass until below Wägerhus. Here turn right to follow a small creek until you reach the Tälli terrace north of P. 2256, overcoming southward a short steep slope. On the flat terrain continue to 2433. From there ascend a small valley in a wide arc to the left to reach the snowy saddle south of P. 2686. A short traverse eastward brings you to the foot of the summit slope. Ascend this slope until the summit ridge and follow the ridge to reach the highest point of Sentisch Horn.
Descent
On the ascent. If the conditions are safe, from the snowy saddle south of P. 2686 you can directly ski down eastward on the northeast-facing slope. Then go across the Tälli terrace to continue skiing down the steep slopes west of Tällichopf (2342 m) to reach the road (30° on 200 metres of vertical height, WS+).
