Description

The hike begins in Avers-Cresta at an altitude of 1,960 m. At the upper end of the village, take the hiking trail towards Tälifurgga. The path leads steadily uphill in several hairpin bends above the Maleggabach stream into the 'Täli'. From an altitude of 2,300 m above sea level, the trail follows the Maleggabach stream to the fork at point 2,515. We leave the path to Tälifurgga and turn right towards Oberer Bandsee.

The path to the upper Bandsee is well marked and soon the upper Bandsee shines out in all its beauty and purity. Resting on the shore, enjoying the silence and watching the fish hunt for mosquitoes makes the hike an unforgettable experience.

Any hiking trail closures/restrictions or detour can be found here.
