3D route: bit.ly/3Oy72br – photo: bit.ly/3J7G4GI – summer – In St. Moritz, to indicate the south, they gave the name to a mountain: Piz Mezdì (2992 m / asl) which is also a destination for an excursion without particular difficulties. The path starts from St. Moritz Bad (1770 m / asl), under the mountain, near the playground. Climb southwards through a dense forest and after overcoming the first 150 meters in altitude, you will come to a wide dirt road that you follow for about a kilometer; then turn right, as signposted, onto the route to Piz Mezdì. At the end of the forest you begin to have excellent views of the entire Engadine. You walk on a good path that climbs with a fairly constant slope; Looking at the goal, one gets the idea that it is difficult to achieve in practice, it is exactly the opposite. At an altitude of 2600 m above sea level, there is a junction where the right path climbs to the nearby Piz d'Ova while deviating to the left you continue to the Mezdì. The route becomes very gravelly, always with many white / red trail signs. Once you reach your destination at almost 3000 meters you are not in front of the classic peak with a cross but a large plateau like a football field with a large number of cairns. Wandering along this large expanse of stones you can look out over the Roseg Valley, Pontresina, the Engadine lakes and Samedan airport, and have a 360° view of all the peaks. The return takes place on the same route as the climb, but if you still have some time available, once you arrive at the crossroads at an altitude of 1913 m / asl, it is advisable to continue on the dirt road towards the north-east and go to Lake Staz where you can take an excellent swim in waters that are not at all cold. From here, covering the last 2.5 km of the day, you descend to Lake St. Moritz and then reach the starting point – Route (E) of about 20 kilometers – positive elevation gain 1260 meters – no fountains – gpx(seteTRAK): bit.ly/3zEQwm1 – "bergheil" buonC@mmino
