Description

First, you climb the historically significant Septimer Pass, then continue up the left valley flank to the Lunghin Pass. At the top, you encounter the only triple watershed in Europe. From here, water flows into three different seas. The Eva dal Lunghin, later Eva da Sett, flows into the Julia and then into the Rhine, which ends in the North Sea. The source of the Inn, which flows into the Danube and then into the Black Sea, also originates at Lunghin. The Maira River flows through the Bergell, joins the Po, and eventually reaches the Adriatic Sea. The descent to Maloja is rewarded with a beautiful view over the Engadin.

Hidden Gem

Those who want to enjoy even more views can take a detour to Piz Lunghin at 2779 m. The view over the Engadin is unique.

Equipment

Sturdy footwear and appropriate outdoor clothing are recommended.

Directions

From Bivio, at the end of the village near Hotel Post, start toward the Septimer Pass. Shortly before the pass, you reach the turnoff toward Lunghin Pass. Descend along Lägh dal Lunghin to Maloja, from where you can return to Bivio by PostAuto via St. Moritz Bad.

Option:

From Lunghin Pass there are less steep descents such as to Plaun da Lej or via the Heididorf Grevasalvas to Sils i.E.. A third option is via Fuorcla Grevasalvas to Julier Pass. From there, a summer PostAuto runs back to Bivio (note, only few PostAuto services).

Directions

Public Transport

By the Rhaetian Railway or the PostAuto from Chur to Tiefencastel. Then by PostAuto to Bivio. From there, the hiking trails are signposted.

Parking

Behind Hotel Guidon. The parking lot is free from mid-May to mid-November.

Richard La Nicca (1794-1883), junger Ingenieur aus Safien, bewarb sich erfolgreich als Assistent des Bauunternehmers Giulio Pocobelli, der den Bau der San Bernadinostrasse (1818-23) leitete. Mit erst 25 Jahren wurde La Nicca zum ersten Oberingenieur in Graubünden ernannt. Neben der Julierstrasse gehen weitere grosse Bauwerke im Kanton auf ihn zurück.
