You look down onto the Zerfreila reservoir. To the southwest is the striking Zerfreilahorn. To the northwest to north, you can admire Frunthorn, Dachberg, Schwarz- and Faltschonhorn, Piz Aul, as well as Piz Serenastga. Wonderful scenery at Guraletschsee (2409 m), in the background the steep walls of Fanellhorn, the moor area is interspersed with cottongrass. Both Ampervreilsee (2377 m) and Selvasee (2297 m) are fantastically "embedded" in the landscape.

Post bus ride to Zerfreila. During the first half hour from the Restaurant Zervreila on a paved road. From the chapel, the mountain path begins.

Well marked, the path leads uphill to Guraletschsee - The Guraletschsee lies in a hollow under the moraine of the front Fanell Glacier. At Guraletschsee, you cross the stream flowing from the lake and follow the marked path northwards along the slope of the Guraletschhorn to Zünliflue. From there, the path leads northwards down over alpine pastures, then turns right into the valley of Ampervreila and ascends to Ampervreilasee, a dark-colored small mountain lake at the foot of the pointed Guraletschhorn. Afterwards, the path continues northwards. Gentle climbs and slopes accompany you to Selvasee, the last of the three mountain lakes.

The next notable point of the hike is the alpine hut of Heinisch-Stafel. After that, you continue hiking towards Peiltal. The path passes Selvaalp, where one of the best alpine cheeses of Graubünden is produced.

Two hours walking from Selvasee, you reach Peiltal with the small mountain restaurant, the Peil kiosk. From there, you can take the hiking bus to Vals. Registration is required for the hiking bus. Tel. 081 935 16 49. Timetable see www.vals.ch
