Garvera

We start the tour in the small hamlet of Soliva, which is still inhabited by a resident all year round. The slope to Fontauna Rodunda is completely exposed to the sun, it may happen that there is not much snow. Especially in spring. In the following forest we follow the summer hiking trail through a wildlife rest zone. Attention: deer and rabbit crossings possible!

At Stavel Miez we leave the forest and we turn left over open terrain up to Alp Soliva. At the alpine hut we find a sunny place to take a break before we head through hollows and between snow guards to the white summit of the Garvera. The Piz Muraun lies to our right and observes our actions. Once at the top, there is no cross and no summit book, but all the more width and we look back on our beautifully landscaped track. The mountain panorama with Oberalpstock and Tödi and the deep view of the valley will keep us in for quite a while.

departure:

Option 1: Along the ascent track to Soliva

Option 2: Continue over the back Garvera and at the height 1938 towards Laus and on to Reits/Surrein (organize with two cars)

The slope above Soliva is not always snowed in enough. It is worth informing yourself in advance. www.valmedel.ch

If you arrive by public transport, the tour is extended by about 1 hour.

The descent on the hiking trail through the forest requires a lot of attention. Tip: Reassemble the climbing skins.
