Val d'Uina Schlucht
A long climb leads through the steep Uina Gorge, up beyond the treeline and to the clear mountain lakes of the Schlinig moorland. In some places the path was blasted into the limestone rock wall. Below overhanging rocks and through unlit tunnels the trail follows a former smugglers’ route to Italy.

Details

Description

The centerpiece is the spectacular rock path through the upper Val d’Uina: A former smuggler's route that is recommended for those without fear of heights. At the top of the pass, already on Italian soil, lies the generously designed Sesvenna mountain hut.

Highlights: 

  • Uina Gorge: The rock path "Il Quar", about 600 meters long, blasted into the steep rock wall, was constructed at the beginning of the twentieth century as access to the Pforzheim hut. A scene for the Swiss film "Schellen-Ursli" was filmed at Puntins Ots in the Val d'Uina. 
  • Sesvenna hut: Look forward to a wonderful mountain landscape, breathtaking nature, and a delicious traditional cuisine.
