2-Tagestour Medelserhütte

The first two kilometres we hike on a road into Val Plattas, from Pardatsch we follow the marked hiking trail that leads us to Alp Sura. The Rein da Plattas meanders through flat pastures and forms beautiful pools. From the slopes the waters of the Medelser glacier rush down to the valley and high above us the unfortunately no longer so eternal snow beckons. 

After a last stony climb we reach the Medelser hut in the Fuorcla da Lavaz. Before dinner we still have enough time to take a sparkling bath in the nearby mountain lake Lai Encarden. Fresh at the table, we let the hut team spoil us with a fine dinner and enjoy the sunset in the modern dining room. Legendary!

The next day we descend again to Alp Sura and take the ascent to Fuorcla dalla Buora under our feet. After a last look back to the glacier, we descend steeply into Val la Buora, a rough and little-known valley with a wide stony stream bed. The landscape becomes softer again at the Ziegenalp Alp Puzzetta. The modern red building surprises and offers an extraordinary photo opportunity. From Platta, the Postbus takes us back to Curaglia.

For the visit of the lai Encarden we need about 1 hour there and back.

From Curaglia we follow the marked hiking trail to the Medelserhütte. On the second day we branch off from Alp Sura in a westerly direction and hike via Fuorcla dalla Buora to Alp Puzzetta. Below the hut we take the junction towards Platta.
