Description

From Pontresina to Bever, this easy and wheelchair-accessible hike initially follows a section of the cantonal road from Pontresina railway station. After about one kilometre, however, the beautiful Flaz riverside path branches off, where benches invite you to linger and observe the riverside meadows. Between Samedan and Bever, the path leads through a renaturalized river floodplain area, which is home to a rich flora and fauna.


Several fire pits invite you to enjoy a cheerful picnic with friends and family amid this impressive nature (a wheelchair-accessible fire pit is available). This is certainly the most beautiful section of this leisurely hike. The last short stretch to Bever is a lightly trafficked paved road without a sidewalk, but the picturesque village itself is a wonderful hiking destination: impressive Engadin houses with deep-set windows and ornate sgraffito line the historic lanes. Here, you can treat yourself to an aromatic coffee or a tasty afternoon snack at the end of the rewarding hike through the magnificent Engadin landscape.
