Description

The route starts at the Plang la Curvanera parking lot. Past the Alp Tussagn, where Segantini once painted, you reach the alpine inn "Anita's Alpstübli" on Plang Begls. From there, the path becomes somewhat steeper up to Tgant Son Martegn. Slightly ascending at the foot of Corn da Tinizong, it continues to the crystal-clear Lai Tigiel. Upwards through a scree field to the impressive Pass digls Orgels. Anyone who sees it immediately understands why it is called Orgelspass. From there, it goes to the Pass d'Ela. You can see Piz Ela, the namesake of Parc Ela, and you are in the middle of Switzerland's largest nature park. Via Cotschen and the Lai Tigiel, it goes back to Plang la Curvanera.
