Lej Sgrischus-Val Fex

From the Nietzsche House (1809m) in Sils Maria, the power place of Upper Engadin, the path leads on a zigzag course through meadows and forests to the viewpoint Marmoré (2202m). The ascent is rewarded with a magnificent view of the Engadin lakes, the dreamy Fex Valley and its impressive glaciers. Following the upper hiking trail to Alp Munt, you first reach Munt Sura (2439m) and then the idyllic mountain lake Lej Sgrischus (2618m). There you can really cool off in the mountain water in summer before the climb continues and reaches Piz Chüern (2689m) after another half hour. The descent takes place on the marked path over grassy slopes with rich alpine flora into the valley floor of the Fex Valley. From there, the path leads past the small mountain village of Fex-Crasta with its few inns and the impressive church with impressive frescoes in the choir towards Fex-Platta. There you can also take a break in the cozy restaurant before returning to Sils on the gorge path near the stream.

Instead of starting from Sils Maria, you can save about 500 meters of elevation gain with the Furtschellas cable car and thus reduce the walking time by about 1.5 hours.
