Description

Right at the bus stop in Brail, the path leads upward, where you walk right through beautiful meadows to the branching to Alp Barlas-ch on the Via Engadina. Now follows the ascent on the beautiful alpine road up to Alp Barlas-ch, which invites you to the first break.


During the break, you enjoy the panoramic view towards Upper Engadin and the opposite valley side. From now on, the path goes over a meadow to the first ravine. Then follows a short but very steep descent towards Alp Pülschezza, before the little frequented path continues along the slope through the open forest to the branch to Brail at about 2000 meters.


Now the path slowly rises again into Val Plüschezza. Here you emerge from the forest and continue hiking from valley to valley, crossing several small mountain streams. First into Val d'Urezza, then Vallanzun over Val Schivò. From here begins the partly quite steep descent, which shortly before Alp Munt again passes through the forest and leads down to Zernez.

Geheimtipp

Stay overnight or take a detour to the sun terrace of Switzerland's smallest 5* hotel, the IN LAIN Hotel Cadonau. Highest service quality and warm hospitality, a great ambience and finest culinary delights!
