Weitwanderung von Savognin nach Poschiavo

Reserve accommodation well in advance. Often a deposit is required.

Most accommodations accept debit cards. Ask for the acceptance of debit cards at the time of reservation.

The journey by car is not recommended due to a lack of (free) parking spaces.

In extremely bad weather, the Engadin offers the opportunity to shorten the stages by post bus or train.

Very impressive is the journey with the Postbus from Silvaplan over the Julier Pass to Bivio.

The stages can be extended or shortened individually. Here is a possibility for the average and trained hiker:

Day 1: From Savognin to Alp Flix

In Savognin, the hike passes the house of the painter Giovanni Segantini. On the Alp Flix (a plateau used as an alp) there is a simple accommodation option (yurt) and a comfortable mountain hotel with a 4-course menu for dinner.

Day 2: Alp Flix to Fumia

From Alp Flix, the path leads above the Lai da Marmorera and then slopes moderately to Bivio. A small accommodation is located in Fumia.

Day 3: Fumia to Maloja

Long flat ascent to the Septimer Pass, the highest point of this long-distance hike. Descent south to above Cassacia and via S. Gaudenzio steeply up to Maloja.

Day 4: Maloja to Pontresina

The trail passes Lake Sils, Lake Silvaplana, Lej Suot and Lej da Champfèr. In St. Moritz, the trail leads directly past the Segantini Museum. Pontresina is reached through the Stazerwald.

Day 5: from Pontresina to Alp Grüm

Through the Val Bernina you walk past Morteratsch and Diavolezza. Soon the Bernina Hospice at the Bernina Pass will be reached. Now the descent to Alp Grüm begins. Here is a simple mountain hut and a mountain inn.

tip:

At the southern end of Lake Bianco, there is a small detour via the panoramic restaurant Sassal Mason.

Day 6: From Alp Grüm to Poschiavo

On old mule tracks you descend to the small plateau at Cavaglia. Poschiavo is reached via narrow forest paths.

tip:

A visit to the glacier garden south of Cavaglia is worth seeing.
