Details

Description

The route begins in the mountain village of S-charl. The hike leads to Tamangur and passes through the beautiful highest stone pine forest in Europe – God da Tamangur. The path has a pleasant incline. During the hike, two beautiful and old alpine meadows where the cows from Scuol spend the summer are passed. Upon reaching Alp Astras, follow the signposts «Süsom Givè». Shortly after the signpost, the hiking trail becomes a little steeper until the highest point of the tour is reached. From there, a magnificent view opens up over Val Tamangur, Piz Amalia, and the highest mountain of the municipality of Scuol, Piz Sesvenna. From now on, the path descends. The destination, Süsom Givè, is soon reached.
