Im Herbst kann es schnell einmal Schnee geben auf der Greina
The crown of the Surselva is an impressive and partly challenging circular hiking route from hut to hut in Graubünden. It connects the seven mountain huts in the Surselva – the anterior Rhine valley between Flims and the Rhine source at the Oberalp Pass, including the valleys Vals, Lumnezia, and Medel.

Description

After a comfortable, mostly flat part through the treeless Greina plateau, the ascent to Fuorcla Sura da Lavaz (2703m) follows. Descent over the small glacier da Lavaz and final ascent to the hut.

Medelser hut «The one with the wide view»

The Medelser hut SAC sits like an eagle's nest on a saddle at 2524m, in a magnificent, pristine mountain world with fantastic views. It has 55 beds and is owned by the Uto/Zurich section. Since the extension in 2006, the hut also has small rooms and a shower for guests. However, the original charm of the old hut has been retained. Thanks to its location and the view into infinity to the west and east, we count over 16 hours of sunshine up here in summer. Through the huge panoramic window, sunsets during dinner can be experienced directly and closely. We cook as regionally as possible and bake with Bündner organic mountain grain; our cake buffet is legendary. We pamper you with lovingly hut-made organic delicacies. And the eagle – it really visits us from time to time!
