A relatively well-developed but still exposed path leads to the enticing summit destination Piz Ot.
Details
Description
From Samedan, first through the village to the valley station of the Survih ski lift, then in increasingly steep zigzags up to Alp Munt. It is flatter through the Valletta valley until, at point 2583, a path marked with cairns branches off. The path then leads at the beginning of the Botta Naira small valley into the white-blue-white marked path coming from point 2777. Following the white-blue-white markings steeply upwards under Piz Ot and through the southeast and east flanks, the developed and rope-secured path winds steeply up to the summit in several switchbacks. The panoramic view is unique!
The descent is on the same path back down to Samedan. Alternatively, one can also descend to point 2777. From there, a short ascent leads to Fuorcla Valletta and in about 1.5 hours to the Corviglia cable car.
