Ski tour on the Selun

From the Starkenbach bus stop (893 m) southwestwards over open slopes to point 1048 below the winter-dormant cable car. Ascend over the pastures of Hofstatt southwards to the forest edge, where the alpine road is reached at point 1221. Ascend on the road through the partly very steep flank of the Seluner forest to the mountain station of the Selun cable car (1578 m). Now head southeast through the hollow of Vorderselun to the north ridge of the Selun, which leads directly to the summit. Descent on the same route.

Tour skis, skins, if necessary crampons, ski poles, ski helmet, avalanche equipment with transceiver device, avalanche probe and avalanche shovel, ski touring backpack (approx. 30 liters) with avalanche airbag and rain cover, ski touring boots, ski socks, warm and durable clothing in a layering system, ski touring jacket and pants, light gloves for the ascent, warm gloves for the descent, hat/headband, if necessary ski goggles, sun and rain protection, provisions and drinking water, thermos with hot drink, first aid kit, pocket knife, mobile phone, headlamp and reflectors, maps, bivvy sack and emergency blanket.

The ridge of the Selun is often wind-swept due to its exposed location.

Do not leave the route. There is a risk of falling due to karst holes!

By train to Nesslau Neu St. Johann station and then by bus to Starkenbach.

From the Rhine Valley by train to Buchs SG station and then by post bus to the "Starkenbach" stop.

There are no parking facilities available. We recommend arriving by public transport.

Those who do not want to descend through the forest cross at the height of "Strichboden" towards Sellamatt and enjoy one of the sun terraces there.
