3D route: https://bit.ly/3SHs36S - photo: https://bit.ly/3Pp5UYi - summer - Once in the Engadine in Silvaplana you go to the opposite Surlej where you leave your car in the large free parking lot (1809 m / asl). At the back of the nearby bus stop begins the path that

climbing into the forest in a southerly direction, it intercepts the one that goes to the Lej dal Chods (Hahnensee - 2153 m / asl). Near this lake, you make a clear change of direction and proceed westwards and as soon as you leave the forest you have a very panoramic view of the Upper Engadine and its large lakes. Arrived at an altitude of 2450 m / asl, immediately after a viewpoint with a bench, there would be the possibility of deviating to the left and climbing to the top of Piz Surlej, instead continue west and pass in front of the intermediate station of the Corvatsch cable car. The route deviates in a south-westerly direction and at an altitude of 2690 meters intercepts the cycle path that ends at the Furcla Surlej pass (2760 m / asl) where we find a tiny lake and the large Berghaus Furcla Surlej. You are on the pass that connects the Engadine to the Val Roseg and you are truly enchanted by another magnificent panorama that appears in front of you: some of the most important peaks of the Bernina Group with all its glaciers and the unmistakable Biancograt ridge. Just below the pass there is the junction where the right path goes towards the Chamanna Coaz Refuge while the left one descends into Val Roseg. On the way back, take the small road that leads to the middle station of the Corvatsch cable car (2699 m/asl), here take the path that descends towards the Engadine lakes and then continue on the dirt road that goes to Silvaplana-Surlej. Route (E) of about 20 kilometers - positive elevation gain of 1095 meters - no fountains - gpx(seteTRAK): https://bit.ly/3T17Yse - "bergheil" buonC@mmino
