Description
summer -photo:bit.ly/3J7G4GI -video track:www.relive.cc/view/vNOP4397M2O - Route (E-T2) of about 20 kilometers - positive elevation gain 1260 meters. - To indicate the noon in St. Moritz they used a mountain because the sun is above its summit which they called: Piz Mezdì (2992 m / asl); it is also a destination for an excursion without particular difficulties. The trail starts in St. Moritz Bad (1770 m above sea level) near the playground below the mountain. 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 path 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 destination of this excursion you get the idea that it is difficult to reach, in practice it is exactly the opposite. At an altitude of 2600 m above sea level, you will find the junction where you continue to the left for the Mezdì, ignoring the path that climbs to the right to the nearby Piz d'Ova. The route is on a gravelly surface, always with many white / red trail signs. Once you reach your destination at almost 3000 meters, you are not in front of the classic summit with a cross but a large plateau. Wandering on this large expanse of stones and cairns 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 that goes towards N-E thus arriving at Lake Staz where you can also take a bath in waters that are not at all cold. From here, along the last 2.5 km of the day, you descend to Lake St.Moritz and then reach the starting point - no fountains - "bergheil" buonC@mmino -gpx(seteTRAK):bit.ly/3zEQwm1 -interactive route:www.relive.cc/view/vNOP4397M2O/explore
