Description

With snowshoes packed we hike to the year-round inhabited village of Cavorgia, the actual starting point of the tour. From here we continue on snowshoes along a snow-covered forest road, steadily uphill to the ridge Stagias. If no one has made a trail before, it can be quite strenuous. But now we are rewarded with a view into the Val Medel and an outlook on the Piz Muraun. Fantastic! Slightly to the left of the route is the Academia Vivian. The modern multipurpose building was built after Storm Vivian and can be rented for training or various other events. We settle down on the steps and have a picnic.

Then we continue our hike downhill and occasionally leave the given route to make fresh tracks in the pristine snow. In Mutschnengia we take off the snowshoes and make a detour to the panoramic restaurant of the Hotel Cuntera. On the almost traffic-free road we walk to Curaglia, from where the postbus takes us to Disentis and the train back to Sedrun.

Hidden Gem

Option 1: Hike from Stagias to Mumpé Medel and on to Disentis. (additional walking time approx. 30 min.)

Option 2: From Mutschnengia take the route over the old mule track to Mumpé Medel and Disentis (additional walking time approx. 1 hr.)

The route can also be done in reverse starting from Curaglia/Fadretsch.

Safety Note

The trail starts in Cavorgia and is marked, but those unfamiliar with the area are advised to print out and carry the topographic map.

After heavy snowfall the route can be strenuous. The Uaul Cavorgia lies in shadow in the depth of winter.

Directions

We walk along the road to Cavorgia. At the junction near the chapel, we go uphill on the right to the end of the village and then across the open field to the forest. We continue walking about 150 meters uphill through the forest until we reach a forest road, which we follow to the left. There is another fork in the road. Here we turn right. Bending into a small valley, we reach the alpine pastures of Cavorgia Sura. We are at another junction, but now find the pink markings that lead us on the forest path to the right, to Stagias. From Stagias we follow the signs southwards towards Mutschnengia and Curaglia.
