The crown of the Surselva is an impressive and sometimes challenging circular hike from hut to hut in Graubünden. It connects the seven mountain huts in the Surselva – the Vorderrheintal between Flims and the source of the Rhine at the Oberalp Pass, including the valleys of Vals, Lumnezia and Medel.

Description

Early in the morning the sun accompanies along the southeast slopes to Lai da Tuma. Past streams and mountain lakes, you cross a raised bog and reach the source of the Rhine after just one hour. There is enough time to enjoy the peace and quiet at Lake Toma. The rear part of the spring with its meandering tributaries acts like a place of power in nature. Strengthened you leave the source towards the Oberalp Pass. In about 1.5 hours you can reach the pass road and the railway line of the Matterhorn Gotthard Bahn.
