The Lower Engadine villages of Guarda, Ardez & Lavin and the Upper Vinschgau village of Mals have much in common - the Romansh language, the original mountain world, and now the first cross-border 60 km long multi-day route from mountaineering village to mountaineering village.
Details
Description
Historically, the mountaineering villages are connected by language. Because the farming population of the Lower Engadine and Upper Vinschgau long spoke the same language: "Rumantsch." 5 stages between well-kept, quiet mountain villages at the foot of the mountain giants Piz Buin and Weißkugel, with overnight stays in three alpine club huts and relaxation by crystal-clear mountain lakes.

The cross-border, approximately 60 km long multi-day route appeals to experienced hikers and can be planned individually or booked as a package. The 90 km refers to the entire route, including the section covered by bus. Three stages on the Swiss side lead from Guarda via the SAC hut Chamonna Tuoi, the mountain lake Lai Blau, and over the Fuorcla Sesvenna. On the South Tyrolean side, hikers proceed from the AVS Sesvenna hut in two more stages to the mountaineering village Mals, along the Matscher Ackerwaal to the AVS Oberettes hut.
