Details

Description

From Samnaun Dorf the hiking trail leads into the Val Maisas, past the herders' hut and over alpine meadows to the Rossboden. The day's goal, the Muttler, remains in view at all times. Via the Lange Seite, we reach the Rote Seeli (Red Lake), which used to turn red in summer. In recent years, the lake has often dried out almost completely, so the natural phenomenon could not be observed. Algae were responsible for the coloration. At the Rossbodenjoch, the view opens to the Val Sampuoir and the Mundin group. From here you reach the highest Samnaun peak, the Muttler, via the north ridge. The last steep section over fragile shale is often wet or even icy and therefore slippery. The summit panorama compensates for the effort and extends over the Silvretta, Bernina, and Verwall groups, the Zugspitze, the Ötztal Alps, and the Ortler. On clear days even Lake Constance can be seen. The same path leads back to Samnaun Dorf.
