Description

From the Pontresina train station, the path leads through the Taiswald and crosses the tracks before the Surovas station, before later a narrower trail winds up through the sparse forest of the Bernina Valley – don't miss the right-hand turn about 2.5 km after the start! Enjoy this section of pleasant ups and downs, then follow the right fork marked towards the Boval hut. After a short ascent with crossing of babbling mountain streams, the majestic Morteratsch valley with its magnificent mountain landscape comes into view. Pause for a moment before descending to the valley floor and then, running gently uphill, approach the glacier tongue of the third-longest glacier in the Eastern Alps. Enjoy the silence at the valley's end before returning to the Morteratsch station for a well-deserved rest before the journey back to Pontresina. However, if you still have plenty of energy, you can of course run back to the starting point as well.
