Description

This varied hike starts in Bergün and leads past the Ela hut, the Ela pass, and the Fuorcla Tschitta to Naz and back to Bergün. The route is, of course, also possible in the opposite direction.

Equipment

Walking poles and sturdy hiking boots are recommended.

Directions

The route starts at the sawmill in Bergün and leads over a steep ascent to the Chavaigl grond junction. From there, you enjoy a fantastic view of the Val Tuors and Val Tisch. After a short descent to the Ela hut SAC, you reach the Ela pass via a steadily ascending path. As an addition, you can hike the detour over the Orgels Pass.

From the Ela pass, the path leads down to the three mountain lakes. In this area, the various types of rock can be seen very well, and with Piz Ela close at hand, the hike becomes a special experience. The ascent to Fuorcla Tschitta is rewarded with a beautiful view of the mountain scenery around the Albulapass. After the pass crossing, the path leads over alpine meadows to the Maiensäss settlement Naz. The return is via the railway adventure path to Bergün.

The circular hike can be finished in Preda. From there, a train runs to Bergün every hour.
