Details

Description

The tour starts in the mountain village of S-charl. The hike leads to Tamangur and runs through the beautiful and highest stone pine forest in Europe - God da Tamangur. The path has a pleasant incline. In the course of the hike you pass two beautiful and old alps where the cows of Scuol enjoy the summer. As soon as you reach Alp Astras, follow the signposts to "Süsom Givè". Shortly after the signpost, the trail becomes somewhat steeper until you reach the high point of the tour. From up there you have a wonderful view of the Val Tamangur, the Piz Amalia and the highest mountain in the municipality of Scuol, the Piz Sesvenna. From now on, the path leads downwards. The destination, Süsom Givè, is soon reached.
