Roseg Glacier – Fuorcla Surlej – St.Moritz Cross the woods leading to the Roseggletscher hotel/restaurant on foot or in a horse-drawn carriage. From there, it takes about 2.25 hours to reach Fuorcla Surlej (restaurant) on an ascending trail. Follow on to lake Hahnen (restaurant). On the way down to St.Moritz, you’ll be enjoying views of the Upper Engadine lakes. Take the post bus back to Pontresina. Fuorcla means high ground or the saddle of a mountain. Surlej means above the lake. » Walking time is about 6 hours.  Sils - Marmoré - Lej Sgrischus - Val Fex - Sils The path zigzagging through the pine forest starts on the right of the Nietzsche house and leads across meadows and through forests to the Marmoré lookout point, from where you’ll have a splendid view of the lakes and the Fex valley with its glaciers. Following on along the path that climbs the left-hand slope towards Alp Munt, you’ll reach Lej Sgrischus (2,618m). Within less than half an hour, you’ll be up on Piz Chüern (2,689m), but you may also choose to add another hour to your hike to go to Lej Nair and Lej Alv, which is highly recommended. The way down is on a signposted path across the meadows of Crap da Chüern towards Curtins. When merging with the trail leading from Marmoré to Curtins, you’ll reach the Fex road. You may also wish to continue on the zigzagging path down to the bottom of the valley. Lej Sgrischus means the horrific lake. Lej Nair means the black lake. Lej Alv means the white lake. » Walking time is 5 to 6 hours. Maloja - Lej Cavloc - Lej da Bitabergh - Maloja Circular hiking trail from Maloja via Lej Cavloc to picturesque Lej da Bitabergh and back to Maloja. Marvellous view of the Bergell valley. Cavloc is the same as Cavaloccio and means a pasture or place of rest for horses. » Walking time is about 4 hours. Via Engiadina from St.Moritz to Maloja The Via Engiadina is the Upper Engadine’s 19km high-altitude path that leads from St.Moritz’s Corviglia/Signal area (Signalbahn mountaintop station) to Maloja without any significant level distance along the way.. All along the Via Engiadina, you will walk across pastures and through forests, with the Upper Engadine’s deep-blue lakes below and the impressive scenery of the Bergell valley’s steep climbing-mountains in front of you. The Via Engiadina also passes the well-know hamlet of Grevasalvas, where the Heidi film was shot. Grevasalvas means white scree or slopes. » Walking time is about 6 hours to Maloja (4 hours to Sils). Piz Nair - Fuorcla da Suvretta - Bever From St.Moritz, you can reach Piz Nair either by the Chantarella cable railway (from the St.Moritz school square) and via Chantarella-Corviglia, or by the Corviglia-Piz Nair cable car. From Piz Nair, hikers enjoy marvellous views of the surrounding mountains and the many valleys covered with deep snow. The picture that presents itself is dominated by the distinct Bernina mountain range with its glittering glaciers. The hike begins on the north side of the mountaintop station. The first bit leads down the wide ski pistes into a seemingly unreal col landscape that you will pass through on your way down to lake Suvretta. As you approach the lake, turn right and you’ll reach Fuorcla Suvretta within a few minutes. Continue on northward down through the Suvretta valley. On your left, Piz Suvretta and Piz Bever will give you impressive views of their glacier-covered flanks. The right-hand side of the valley is dominated by the mountains around Piz Corviglia and Piz Saluver. A beautiful path with a pleasant downward inclination leads along the Ova da Suvretta, and soon the Val Suvretta merges with Val Bever that descends from Piz d’Err on your left. Continue on across pastures and along the Beverin mountain brook to Spinas and further on to Bever. » Walking time is about 5 hours. Via Segantini from Bever to Zuoz In Bever’s village centre, a path branches off left just past the ornamental-concrete arc. At an altitude of some 1,800m above sea level, this path leads towards La Punt, from where you follow a short section of the Albula mountain-pass road until you reach a turnoff with a signpost indicating ‘Via Segantini’. On a trail with hardly any level distance, you’ll pass Madulain, with the village below, and finally reach Zuoz (an archetypal Engadine village). » Walking time is about 2.75 hours. The Segantini Trail Above the Segantini Museum (Hotel Soldanella), the trail leads towards the Suvretta-House hotel. Along the way, there are six information panels for hikers to learn about the life and work of artist Segantini. » Walking time is about half an hour. |
