Details

Description

The hike starts in Avers-Cresta, which is already at 1,960 m above sea level. At the upper end of the village, the path ascends in an easterly direction following the Alpweg. Above the Maleggabach, the path leads in several hairpin bends up to 2,213 m above sea level, then under the Wissberg into the Tili.
Where the stream turns the big curve towards Tälifurgga, it is traversed. Now the route follows the clearly visible trail markings. A large stone at about 2,560 m above sea level points the way to the brook flowing down from the upper lake.

After a short time, the Upper Bandsee 2,643 m above sea level shines in all its beauty and purity. Resting on the shore, enjoying the silence and watching the fish hunt for mosquitoes makes the hike an unforgettable experience.

Any hiking trail closures/restrictions or diversions can be found here.
