Edelweiss-Tour zum Passo di Gana Negra

We start our hike at Hospezi Santa Maria and we climb first leisurely, then steeper and zigzag on the west side of Piz Scopi towards Passo di Gana Negra. Actually, we would have to turn right again at the signpost on the pass, but it is worthwhile to walk another 5 minutes until we reach a small lake. Here we meet a unique environment. Black slate blocks, which detached from the scopi a long time ago, are scattered in the green landscape and give an extraordinary color contrast.

After the break at the lake we hike back to the signpost and we descend to Casaccia. Untwerwegs we can hardly get enough of the many Edelweiss, men's loyal and alpine asters. Also the view into the Vallone di Cassacia, with its different colored rock and peppered with rock towers, is fantastic.

As soon as we reach the pine forest we hear the call of the pine jay, which feels very comfortable here. Otherwise it is quiet and peaceful in the small valley Samprou. Only at the parking lot on the road does the bustling world welcome us back in. By bus we drive back to the starting point on the Lukmanier Pass.

The hike is also very interesting if the Edelweiss are not yet in bloom or have already faded.

At the parking lot at the Lukmanier Pass we follow the marked path to Capanna Bovarina. On the Passo di Gana Negra there is a signpost. One of the routes leads downhill to Casaccia.
