Description

Off to the waterfalls at Lag da Pigniu! Laax Murschetg, the ideal place to refresh yourself before the route in one of the numerous cafés. The route starts directly with an ascent to Falera, going parallel to the Senda dil Dragun through the forest up to the holiday resort. Passing alpine pastures and mountain forests, you reach the village of Ruschein, where you can refresh yourself at one of the many fountains. From here, it goes up to Siat with the Caplutta Sogn Glieci, which invites you to linger and offers a unique photo motif.


After a short descent, we reach the Panixer valley, at the end of which is the reservoir. Along the shore, it goes to the impressive waterfalls, which offer the ideal setting for a good snack.


Leaving Lag da Pigniu behind, about 1 km after the dam, turn off towards Andiast and follow the road to Rueun, where you cross the Rhine at Rueun station and follow the shore first to Ilanz and then to Schluein. In Ilanz, there is the possibility to stop at one of the many restaurants and cafés. Passing the Schieberg castle ruins, it goes up to Laax. The ascent is long and strenuous but offers a unique view into the Rhine Gorge at the Tuora viewpoint.

Hidden Gem

Carry enough water on the ascent back to Laax; some fountains do not provide drinking water.
