Details

Description

The starting point of the first stage is the small Engadin village S-Charl. This place can only be reached in winter by horse-drawn carriage, which runs daily between Scuol and S-Charl. The ski route leads along an alpine path northeast to Plan d’Immez. Here the bridge over the Clemgia brook is crossed. Subsequently, the tour continues southwest through a stone pine forest. Below Piz Mezdi, the tour leads to Fuorcla Schombrina (2,697 m above sea level). The final ascent leads southwest along the summit ridge to Mot dal Gajer (2797 m above sea level). The descent follows the ascent route.

Hidden Gem

The God Tamangur is Europe's highest stone pine forest.
