Description
Piz Badus lies north of the Rossbodenstock and is a rather unassuming but rewarding ski touring destination. The tour offers beautiful, moderately steep descents and sweeping views of the surrounding mountains.
The Maighelshütte is a good starting point. Typically, the approach is made the day before from the Oberalp Pass to the hut, where you’ll spend the night. A day trip starting directly from the Oberalp Pass is also possible, though it’s significantly longer and correspondingly more challenging.
From the Maighelshütte, the route continues uphill via Plauncas Badus. Before reaching the ridge, a ski depot is set up, from which the final section is covered on foot. Once at the summit, you’ll be rewarded with a unique view.
The descent generally follows the ascent route back to the Maighelshütte. From there, the route continues through the Maighel Valley and includes a final ascent to the Oberalp Pass. If conditions permit, it’s possible to ski all the way down to Tschamutt.
