Details

Description

The route features a varied landscape and different running surfaces. First, it goes along the roaring Inn on the "Parrot Path" with gorge character, up to the originally preserved hamlets of Tarasp with a view of the distinctive castle, and finally to the mountain lake Lai Nair, located on a plateau above Tarasp. To finish, a technical trail through the forest leads down to the former spa resort Vulpera. 

Directions

Start in Gurlaina and follow the Parrot Path towards Nairs on the right bank of the Inn. Before the Buvetta, cross the Inn and head east. At the bridge in Nairs, cross the Inn again and turn right at the Carola Spring building, then the hiking trail first follows along the Inn, then ascends via a path with several curves towards Florins. While passing through the hamlet of Florins, you can admire the panoramic view and the Romanesque architecture. Continue west until a distinctive right curve. Here, turn left and follow the stream uphill to Fontana. In Fontana, take the steep street towards Lai Nair. Soon you will reach the highest point at Lai Nair. The path then continues north of the small lake, and you turn left towards the parking lot. Then cross the road and take the trail towards Vulpera, which leads through a bright forest. Shortly after the tennis court, turn onto the path coming from Gurlaina. Here you can already start the final sprint.
