Description

From Andeer, the path leads in a gentle descent to Innerferrera, where the historic Averserstrasse begins. Right at the beginning, impressive views of the wild gorge of the Ragn da Ferrera open up. A wooden concrete bridge, a short rock tunnel ("Mut d'Avers") and a narrow path through the forest lead to the bridge of the Val digl Uors.

Now one of the most impressive sections of the stage begins: the Starlera route and the Valle di Lei Stutz with artistically built natural stone buildings, impressive bridges such as the Starlera Bridge and geological features at the warm spring at Starlera. After the Valle di Lei bridge, the path climbs steeply, leads through the Bleika forest to Campsut and continues on the same side of the valley to Finstera Stägg. Over a concrete bridge, the cantonal road and meadow area, you reach the old mule track to Cröt.

On the way, hikers encounter deeply cut gorges, historic Walser houses, fragrant forests, blooming alpine meadows and quiet alpine landscapes - a varied route full of history, culture and nature.

Hidden Gem

  • Ragn da Ferrera Gorge: Immediately after Andeer, the path crosses the wild Ragn da Ferrera Gorge. The water has cut deep furrows into the rock here and created impressive shapes.
  • Historic Averserstrasse: The stage follows the old Averserstrasse from the 19th century. Its dry stone walls and stone bridges bear witness to the former transport connection to the Avers high valley.
  • Gasthaus Walserstube: enjoy regional specialties, Latin cuisine and selected wines.

Equipment

Appropriate, weather-compliant equipment is strongly recommended.

Directions

From Andeer, the route first descends gently to Innerferrera, where it meets the historic Averserstrasse. Even here, impressive views of the wild gorge of the Ragn da Ferrera open up. From the village square in Ferrera, the route follows the road until a fork on the left leads down to the Ragn da Ferrera. Cross a wooden concrete bridge, then continue to the left past a parking lot and after about 250 m through the "Mut d'Avers" rock tunnel. The path then runs on the valley side on a narrow footpath through the forest over a small bridge.

At the PostBus stop "Abzweigung Val digl Uors", the bridge of the Val digl Uors is crossed below the cantonal road. The path then runs parallel to the cantonal road to the tunnel portal, from where the access to the old Averserstrasse begins on the left. This historic section - the Starlera route and the Valle di Lei Stutz - impresses with artistic natural stone engineering buildings from the 19th century, including the imposing natural stone bridge directly at the national border over the Reno di Lei. Particularly worth seeing are the Starlera Bridge, the retaining walls and geological features such as sinter formations at the warm spring near Starlera.

After the Valle di Lei bridge, the route climbs steeply up to the cantonal road, continues via the metal staircase through the Bleika forest to Campsut. On the same side of the valley, continue to Finstera Stägg, over a concrete bridge and the cantonal road, before the path leads over meadows and on remains of the old mule track to Cröt.

On the way, hikers encounter masterfully built bridges, deeply cut gorges, historic Walser houses and quiet alpine landscapes. Fragrant forests, blooming alpine meadows and fascinating views of the Avers Gorge round off this varied tour through history, geology and culture.
