Description

From Chamanna d'Es-cha with little elevation loss to the southwest to Fuorcla Gualdauna and from there a descent to the Albulapass road. Along the mostly lightly travelled pass road to Ospiz (2.5 hrs, restaurant). Further on the right side of the valley about 1.5 km until the terrain drops steeply towards the lakes. Here we ascend to the left over the road in the direction of Fuorcla Crap Alv. Along uniquely green shimmering Crap Alv Laiets (which invite us to bathe) the path leads us to the 2466 m high pass Fuorcla Crap Alv (1.5 hrs). This Fuorcla is known for the highest density of species diversity (flora) in Switzerland. A steep descent brings us into the bright forest at Palüd Marscha in the upper Val Bever (1 hr). We follow the forest road to Alp Suvretta. There we cross the bridge over the Beverin and ascend past Tegia d'Val to Chamanna Jenatsch at 2652 m (3 hrs).
