Parc Ela Trek stage 8: Alp Flix - Furschela da Colm - Alp d'Err

The species-rich Alp Flix, a Walser settlement from the 14th century, is inhabited year-round. At the hamlet of Tgalucas (1969 m) the ascent over alpine pastures begins. The view over the high plateau of Alp Flix towards Piz Platta is overwhelming. At point 2440, a short footpath leads to Piz Colm (2414 m) with a view northwards into the Surses. Back on the hiking trail towards Furschela da Colm, the red tones of the ore-bearing rock dominate. In the Parsettens area, the red spoil heaps left over from manganese ore mining are unmistakable. Here, mining was carried out with interruptions since the Middle Ages and most recently during World War II. Before descending to Alp d’Err, the gaze wanders to the shapely Piz Ela. At 3339 m it is the highest peak of the Bergünerstöcke. Above the alpine buildings of Alp d’Err we see a block glacier consisting of rock and ice (permafrost). The last few meters lead gently to Alp d’Err, our stage destination. Accommodation: Alp d'Err
