Description

From Sils, located between Lake Sils and Lake Silvaplana, you first take the cable car up to the Furtschellas middle station at a relaxed pace. The Lake Trail has been newly developed into a snowshoe circular hike. The circular hike starts at 2,312 meters above sea level and winds through almost untouched winter landscape eastwards towards Ustaria Rabgiusa, which is located in the middle of the circular route. Right at the beginning, you cross piste 19a "Furtschellas unten", where caution is advised. After the steep ascent to point 2441, enjoy the view of the frozen lakes in the valley and up to the icy pinnacles and rocky flanks of the Corvatsch massif.


From here it continues over flatter terrain to point 2456, which is a perfect photo spot. To capture the wide view, a smartphone with panorama function is recommended. Now it goes slightly downhill before the path makes a wide loop and leads to Ustaria Rabgiusa. The large sun terrace with wind protection is the ideal place for a break.


After the well-deserved refreshment, it goes westwards back to the Furtschellas middle station. After a gentle ascent, you pass Lejin Epidot (Epidot Lake). From here it is all downhill to the starting point at the Furtschellas middle station.
