Details

Description

The route begins with a steady ascent from Samnaun-Laret (1700 m). After crossing the Schergenbach, the forest road turns left, passing the works yard. At the meadows Clis Grond, the path branches off to Fuorcla Curschiglias (2127 m). Historically, the crossing led into the Val Sampuoir, but there is no longer a trail from here to the neighboring valley. The forest road continues about 500 meters flat to a beautiful viewpoint. From here you enjoy a beautiful panoramic view over the Samnaun valley. The return ride is on the same route back to Samnaun-Laret.

Hidden Gem

Viewpoints: Along the path there are several picturesque spots inviting you to take photos or have a short rest.
