Description

After the white glacier waters of Lago Bianco, the route leads up to the fantastic vantage point of Sassal Mason with views of Piz Palü, its glacier seeming almost close enough to touch, the heart-shaped Lagh da Palü, Alp Grüm and Val Poschiavo. The peaceful high valley of Cavaglia below offers an invitation to linger.

Newly designed trail markers

Everyone knows them: the white-red-and-white trail markers that show hikers that way. From September 2017, five of these look a little different on this trail. Artist Stefan Rüesch has set his hand, or rather his brush, to these and made these signs live up to the beauty of the surrounding nature. True to the motto: Every spot a masterpiece.

Find those newly designed trail markers by clicking on the map above.

Geheimtipp

Sicherheitshinweis

Directions

Public Transport

Rhaetian Railway

More than 100 years ago it went into operation: the Bernina Line. In 1910, direct train service was started between St. Moritz and Tirano. 61 kilometres of the highest architecture against the backdrop of the highest mountain in Graubünden. This special treat, which leads past the mighty Palü and Morteratsch glaciers, which combines southern joie de vivre and alpine beauty, can be experienced every day on the Bernina Express. But sometimes you take your breath away because of the exposed curves and the overwhelming mountain panorama.
