Description

A varied tour over beautiful trails and with great views.

Hidden Gem

At the alpine hut next to the station of the cablecar for the herders at 2054m.a.s.l, the one where the gondola is, drinks are available (self service, take cash with you!). The route passes only a short distance from it. Sticks can make the ascent and descent a little easier. Mountain restaurant Segneshütte is at the end of the tour. Take the mountain railways to get back to Flims.

Safety Note

Exposed to weather and wind. Avoid the Fil de Cassons during thunderstorms. In spring and into summer, snowfields are to be expected at the higher altitudes. In the ascent, path and trail tracks are not always visible in the area of Mutta Bella. -> Difficult to find in fog! Map and location on mobile phone can be helpful.

Equipment

Trailrunning shoes, running backpack, drinks (no water points above), wind and rain jacket, sun protection.

Directions

Bargis - over the Scala Mola to Tegia Gronda 2019m.a.s.l - continue always the right path - over Mutta Bella until reaching the Cassons ridge - over this to its western end (view platforms) - further west, descending towards the lower Segnes ground - shortly before reaching this sharp left away over the running path to Naraus to the Segneshütte.

From here, take the mountain railways to get back to Flims.
