Piz Ault - Trail

The scenic summit tour over Piz Ault – located between Val Medel and Val Plattas – starts in Curaglia.

Up to the summit of Piz Ault, we first walk on forest roads and later on hiking trails. Once at the top, there is an unobstructed view of the Medel range with numerous other snow-covered peaks.

It remains airy on both sides until we reach Fuorcla dalla Buora. The descent to Alp Puzzetta is initially quite steep and the Val la Buora is extremely wild and unspoiled. After a forest, we reach the distinctive red building of the goat alp Puzzeta. Slightly below, we turn to the Maiensässen of Peinzas and so return to our ascent route.

Variant 1: From Piz Ault back to point 2113, into Val Plattas to Alp Sura and back to Curaglia.

Variant 2: From Alp Puzzetta further downstream to Fuorns and by post bus back to Curaglia.

A nice summer route, as you quickly gain altitude and there is usually a pleasant wind on the ridge. But especially the "Indian Summer" of the birches above Curaglia also makes the route a dream tour in autumn.

From the village center we follow the marked hiking trail towards Pardatsch and Medelserhütte. After the large carpentry, at the next road bend, a hiking trail leads off to the right to Gliarauns. As soon as we reach the junction on the road, we keep right. After a long loop to the west side of the ridge, the road changes back to the east side, where we must not miss the unmarked direct paths, the shortcuts. Otherwise, we stay on the road until the junction of the hiking trail to Piz Ault. Everything further along the ridge to Fuorcla dalla Buora and westwards into Val la Buora to Alp Puzetta. Slightly below the alp we turn right. At the Maiensässen of Peinzas Dado we turn right again, this time uphill. There follow about 250 meters of ascent until we reach again our ascent route, on which we descend to Curaglia.
