Details

Description

This hike starts at Morteratsch station. After crossing the tracks, the path branches off to the right and ascends. You now hike - partly on and behind the glacier moraine - always towards the glacier, accompanied by spectacular views of the glacier tongue. Below the Boval Hut, the route over rocks requires sure-footedness and then leads steeply over rocks and grassy slopes up to Chamanna (Rhaeto-Romance: hut) Boval.

The view from the terrace of the magnificent Bernina massif is breathtaking. In summer, larger glacier calvings can often be observed from here - so a trip to the hut is worthwhile not only because of the excellent rösti! After a well-deserved rest, the descent takes you back the same way to Morteratsch. At the junction shortly before the finish, you should consider making a detour to the impressive Morteratsch Glacier and hike back to Morteratsch from there.
