Details

Description

The starting point of this hike is the Ospizio La Veduta at the Julier Pass. After a short ascent, you reach the Lej Grevasalvas, beautifully nestled among the mountain peaks. Behind the lake follows the second ascent, which seems less strenuous thanks to the varied surroundings, and soon you reach the Fuorcla Grevasalvas where the view down onto the Engadin with Lake Sils and the Bergell granite mountains compensates for some drops of sweat. The first part of the descent requires a bit of skill, as it leads over a scree field. As soon as you join the hiking trail towards Läg Lunghin, the descent becomes more comfortable. Above Grevasalvas, the path branches off to Sils. On the Via Engiadina, you reach Sils Baselgia, where the San Lurench bus stop is located near the church.
