Description

The tour starts on the Glaspass, at the foot of the Beverin, where the friendly Berggasthaus Beverin is located, and leads up to the Glasergrat, around 300 meters above sea level, with a wonderful panoramic view of the mountains of Safiental, Flims, Glarnerland, Domleschg and the Engadin. At the end of the Glasergrat ridge, there is a short descent to Alp Lüsch. Long mountain paths lead to Alp Bischola and the Bischola Pass with Lake Bischola. While Lake Bischol is a nature reserve, you can enjoy a refreshing dip in Lake Pascuminer a little lower down. The route continues over Alp Bischola with magnificent views of the Safiental valley. It's worth taking a break in the charming Alpbeizli and indulging in local delicacies before descending to the cozy Parsiras mountain inn. The tour continues along mountain paths on the Oberheinzenberg to Obergemeind to the Summerbeizli Solaria with its inviting sun terrace. Finally, the route follows a section of the'Glaspass Adventure Trail' back towards Usser Glas to the Glaspass.
