Description

The route starts with a steady ascent from Samnaun Dorf (1840 m) along a forest path towards Motta Saltuorn. The forest hut is closed, but the surroundings with a fountain, small pond, tables, and benches invite a rest. From here, it is not far to Val Motnaida, where the forest road ends (2147 m). A few meters above the forest road are benches offering a beautiful view of Samnaun Dorf, Piz Ot, and towards Zeblasjoch. The return is along the same route back to Samnaun Dorf.
