Description

Starting leisurely along Lago Bianco, this stage begins. Behind the dam, the path merges into a wide alpine path past Lej Nair and Lej Pitschen. At the height of Lej Pitschen, the leisurely part ends. The path branches off to the left and climbs over alpine meadows to Lej d'Arlas and then in steeper terrain to Lej da Diavolezza. The turquoise blue lake would be a good time for a rest, because afterwards it goes up rocky terrain to Diavolezza and to the destination of the day's stage, Berghaus Diavolezza. Those who have not climbed enough altitude meters yet can continue hiking past Berghaus, over a ridge and up scree to Munt Pers (about 1 hour walking time). Back to Berghaus is the same way. Those who do not want to hike up Munt Pers can also treat themselves to a wellness break in the jacuzzi on the panoramic terrace.

Hidden Gem

End the day on the panoramic terrace of Berghaus Diavolezza and enjoy the sunset with this unique view of glaciers and mountains.

Safety Note

After Lej da Diavolezza, there can still be snowfields in some places well into July and partially icy in October, which makes the path more challenging. An alternative would be to walk along the ski slope up to Diavolezza along Lej da Diavolezza.
