Ascent
The tour starts at an altitude of approx. 2000 m in front of the barrier of the closed Flüela Pass (Tschuggen). The ascent begins along the pass road until you reach a small yellow house on the right. This is marked on the map as "Wägerhus". Turn right here in the direction of ascent and start the ascent with a left turn behind the first steep step. Once you reach the steep step, turn right and continue northwards until you reach another steep step.
Optionally and depending on the conditions, simply continue along the pass road and only turn right at around point 2057 (directly after the small climbing rocks on the right).
After the second steep step (marked "Tälli" on the map), you reach a wide, flat area. Here you can now clearly see your destination, the Baslersch Chopf, and the summit slope. The ascent route is visible, keep heading northwest and cross the plain. The Gulerigen Furgga (2571) is reached via the summit slope; depending on the conditions, keep to the right a little earlier and you will quickly reach the winter summit. The main summit, which is only a few meters higher, is located a little further north, but offers no added value in terms of views.
Descent
If you keep your eyes open at the start in Tschuggen, you will be able to see plenty of variants, but these are only tackled in really safe conditions. Otherwise, the descent is just like the ascent, which is no less rewarding. The descent directly from the summit to the Flüela valley is only possible in very safe conditions, as it is steep and exposed. The descent to the Dischma valley can also be rewarding. If you want to gain even more vertical meters, descend to the area (2435m) and add the Sentisch Horn at the end.
