Details

Description

The hike starts in Bivio and leads through the Val Tgavretga up to the Septimer Pass and via Maroz Dora to Casaccia. At Plang Camfer and at the top of the pass you can still discover remains of the old Roman road. At a later time, the pass was used by the Bergell farmers to settle Bivio. Initially, they only stayed in the Alps around Bivio during the summer, but later some settled in Bivio all year round. Hence the influence of the Italian language in Bivio.

This hike is a section of the Via Sett - cultural and long-distance hiking trail from Chur to Chiavanna (It) through three valleys and three language cultures.

From Casaccia take the PostBus back to Bivio.
