Bandseen (Avers-Cresta - Bandseen - Avers-Cresta)

The hike starts in Avers-Cresta, which is already at 1,960 m above sea level.M. At the upper exit of the village, the path climbs in an easterly direction following the Alpweg. Above the Maleggabach, the path leads in several bends up to 2,213 m above sea level.M., then under the Wissberg into the Täli.
Where the stream takes 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.M. points the way to the small stream flowing down from the upper lake.

After a short time, the Obere Bandsee 2,643 m above sea level shines towards .M 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.
