Description

The starting point is Sta. Maria. From here, the hiking trail leads on a forest road through the larch forest up to Val Vau. Here follows a turnoff to the steep but varied ascent to the Lai da Rims, past an imposing waterfall. After two steep steps, the plateau with the emerald blue lake comes into view. From here there are two variants:

Variant 1:

Continue on a challenging trail, which at the end leads over scree to the Piz Umbrail (3032m.ü.M.) and from there on an alpine mountain path back down to the Umbrail Pass. From the Zoll stop, the Postbus goes back to Sta. Maria (Attention: Only a few connections, pay attention to timetable and time arrival!)

Variant 2:

Continue along the Lai da Rims and then up to the saddle of Piz Praveder (detour to the summit possible – great view!). From there, a rocky, sometimes somewhat slippery path leads down to the beautiful Val Mora up to the alpine road. This leads over 8km and 800 meters of altitude back to Sta. Maria.

Geheimtipp

  • In high season, a taxi goes to Val Vau
  • Military historical relics on the descent from Piz Umbrail
  • Attention: the trail is also used by bikers
