Details

Description

The hike to the Strudelköpfe, a fascinating rocky ridge on Alp Mora, offers a unique blend of geological wonder, panoramic views, and alpine solitude. The starting point is Purcs, a remote alpine hamlet that can only be reached via a seasonal shuttle – an experience that already sets the tone for this off-the-beaten-path adventure.

Hidden Gem

Bring enough water and snacks, as there are no restaurants or facilities on the trail.

Always check the weather forecast, as conditions can change rapidly at altitude.

Be mindful of protected flora and fauna in this alpine zone.

Directions

From the bus drop-off at Purcs, the trail ascends through open alpine pastures and sparse stone pine forests, soon offering wide views over the Surselva valley. As you climb further, the landscape becomes increasingly rugged and dramatic. The Strudelköpfe – a line of jagged, sculpted rock formations – emerge as a striking contrast against the rolling alpine terrain. They are not only a geologist’s dream but also a perfect rest spot with sweeping views toward the Rheinwaldhorn and the Signina range.

The route is well-marked, but it requires good hiking fitness, surefootedness, and appropriate footwear. The terrain above Purcs is moderately challenging, with a combination of grassy slopes, rocky sections, and exposed ridgelines.

Directions

Public Transport

Access to Alp Mora is closed to private vehicles to protect the sensitive alpine environment. From July to September, a dedicated Alp Mora Bus runs twice a week, on Wednesdays and Saturdays, from Trin to Purcs. Seats are limited, and prior reservation is recommended.
