Details

Description

We are in for a varied hike on side streets, neighborhood paths, and prepared winter hiking trails. Starting at Center Fontauna, we hike past the chapel Sogn Giachen at Cuoz and continue via Buretsch to Segnas. The original name of the village probably comes from the Latin word signum, which means signpost or landmark. Because the village was spared from fires during the French invasion in 1799, the several-hundred-year-old farmhouses have been preserved – and they are lovingly maintained to this day. A little further towards Acletta and above the Sax ski slope, it’s possible that skiers may cross our path. But we quickly return to safety as we continue through Acletta to Muntatsch. It is said to be the most beautiful viewpoint near the village. After the small valley in Clavaniev, we reach the houses of this district and shortly thereafter complete our hiking round at the sports center.

Hidden Gem

Since the route runs on the sunny side of the valley, the path can quickly become muddy or icy. Hiking poles are recommended.


Dining options in Segnas and Acletta.

Safety Note

The neighborhood and side streets are mostly snow-free

Directions

We follow the pink winter hiking trail number 257 at the sports center. First, we follow a short section of the main road. Afterwards, we hike over side streets, neighborhood paths, and hiking trails via Segnas, Acletta, Muntatsch to Clavaniev and back to the sports center. The path is continuously signposted.
