Beautiful Alpine walk, with great views of the Cresta and the Signina mountain range. Like a string of pearls lie the "glacier mills" pools on the Alp Mora. These are filled with crystal clear water.

Directions

The local bus takes us to Bargis, the starting point of the full-day hike.  After a first ascent we reach the Alp Lavadignas. Thereafter, the path nestles against the cliffs at the foot of the Chep with wildly romantic rocky outcrops. At the viewpoint Plaunca Dira, the effort is generously rewarded with a wide-angle view from the Silvretta to the Oberalp Pass. At our feet lies Flims with the forest, Crestasee and Lake Cauma. Beyond, the view sweeps into the Lugnez valley with the white-backed Piz Terri and Piz Aul. Opposite is the high altitude terrace of the Crap da Flem or Flimserstein. Here we cross the high valley Muletg and continue past the avalanche dam Platt 'Alva, to Val Maliens. Primal ice masses polished the limestone rocks during centuries of work. More recently, the Maliens stream has sought a way in the rock and thereby grind out round wells, so-called whirlpools. In the dozen, they lie one behind the other, the rock almost white and the water turquoise-clear. If there is water, it can be used as a refreshing bath on hot days at 2100 m above sea level. After this refreshment,  the old alpine path goes downhill, where the forest provides soothing shade and yet always frees the view to the Safiental and Piz Beverin, to Trin.
