Curaglia -Platta

We discover the landscape in Val Medel on a leisurely hike, away from the Lukmanier pass road. First we hike a bit to Plaun da Punt, to the Rein da Medel. Here an old stone bridge leads over the stream, an impressive building from the time of merchants and muleteers.  We take a look into the stream bed deep below us after which we go the same way back a bit. Then we follow the groomed path into the valley to Platta with the midday sun on our faces. In between we have to change briefly to the main road but from the fraction Baselgia we enjoy the crunching snow under our shoes again.

We inquired beforehand whether the restaurant of the Hotel Della Posta is open, so that we can stop for a coffee in the warm restaurant before the post bus takes us back to Curaglia. http://hotel-dalla-posta-platta.swissalpshotels.net

From Curaglia we follow a part of the road that leads to Mutschnengia. At Fadretschzweig we turn left onto a winter hiking trail that leads us to the bridge. After we have hiked back a bit, we branch off in front of the first houses of Curaglia on the groomed winter hiking trail to Platta. This runs parallel to the pass road, before Baselgia we follow the pass road for about 100 meters, but shortly afterwards turn right again to Baselgia. Another hiking trail leads to Platta.
