Description

The particularly panoramic hike starts from the Alp Grüm station.

After passing the station, take the trail that goes down to the right and leads to Cavaglia.

The route is very popular in summer with both hikers and bikers, but it fascinates with ever new views of the enchanting natural landscape, the Vadret da Palü, the Cavaglia plain, and Lake Poschiavo in the distance.

The comfortable mule track largely follows the route of the Bernina Line, a UNESCO World Heritage of the Rhaetian Railway since 2008, crossing woods and meadows. It passes through Stablini and La Dota before emerging in the village of Cavaglia.

Before taking the train again, we recommend stopping at the Glacier Garden to visit the extraordinary Giant's Kettles and the new path through the Cavaglia Gorge.

Hidden Gem

Alp Grüm is accessible only by train or on foot.

In Cavaglia, you can visit the Glacier Garden. Also not to be missed is a trip to the Cavaglia Gorge, descending into the gorge to admire the caves carved in the rock.

The trail is used by both hikers and bikers. If you prefer a less frequented path during the summer months, opt for the Alp Grüm - Lagh da Palü - Cavaglia trail or Alp Grüm - Val da Pila – Cavaglia.

Viewpoint Valposchiavo

Alp Grüm

Alp Grüm is located at 2,091 m above sea level on the edge of the first slope of the Valposchiavo. From here you can enjoy an unmistakable view over the whole Valposchiavo, which extends to Italy. In 1910, the Bernina Line of the Rhaetian Railway was built here. The pretty station building, made of quarry stones, is both a restaurant and a hotel and was opened in 1926.

Gli alberi e il gioco di luci e ombre - The Trees and the Shadow Play

The beauty of Graubünden is world-renowned. No matter in what corner of the canton one travels, unique landscapes can be found everywhere- every spot in the mountain region is a masterpiece. In order to match this spectacular nature, the official white-red-and-white trail markers have been newly painted by an artist, called Stefan Rüesch.

Albergo Ristorante Stazione Cavaglia

Originally built as a hotel, Cavaglia station, with its hipped roof, looks more like a typical house of the Bernese Oberland. But we are in the middle of a workers' village of the past, located in the upper part of Valposchiavo.
