 Poster: A snowHead

Is this possible on blue pistes only (with lifts/cable cars)?
We are staying in Klosters in a few weeks time - the hotel is very near to the cable car to Gotschnagrat, so it makes sense to take that; just wondering if it's possible to explore the whole of Parsenn on blue pistes alone. However, looking at the maps on the official site, it's not clear how to bridge the gap between the end of 41/Gruobenalp and Parsennhütte (from where we can get to Weissfluhjoch).
i.e. if we ski run 41 from Gotschnagrat to the end, is it easy to get to Parsennhütte where we can get the cable car to Weissfluhjoch? Can we just take our skis off and walk? Or is there another route? If it's a not too difficult red then I could probably manage that!
Thanks in advance!

@zultonhurst,
Most of the red runs in the Parsenn area are very straight forward particularly the higher ones .
Although I cannot remember the precise route by piste number the skiing from Gotschna to the Weissfluhjoch is easy.
The runs to avoid are the lower ones to Wolfgang and Davos. The runs off the top of the Weissfluhgipfel are also black (not difficult by black standards but definitely steepish but worth taking the cable car up and down for the views.
If you get your confidence the red runs off the back of the Parsenn down to Schifer and beyond are long magnificent and not particularly difficult.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

@zultonhurst, No you couldn't walk it, but as the appropriately named T_Bar says, the reds on the Parsenn are wide and bashed flat and a pleasure...
In fact they're often better than Blue 15 which is Davos's M25
43, 44 & 45 down to Shwarzseealp (sp) are particular joys. 19 and 30 (accessed byt T-bars) are a little more of a challenge but are never necessary
The cable car up from Klosters - while unpleasant in itself - deposits you in the ideal position to explore the best of this brilliant and varied ski area. Note that the red back to Klosters is super-easy too, but (again as mentioned above) the Davos home run has it's steeper sections

Thanks to you both for the valuable advice! I will definitely try some of those easier reds you mention.
@red_27, you mention the red back to Klosters being easy - there are two: 21-Kreugweg-Klosters and 49-Schwartzsee-Klosters. Do you know if they are they both quite easy?
By the way, the interactive map I've been looking at is here (includes a nice 3D one):

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

@zultonhurst, I was thinking of 21
49 has no snowmaking and is often closed
