Description

Already during the leisurely start on the Via Engiadina from Sils Baselgia to Grevasalvas, you are spoiled with a spectacular view of Lake Sils. Above the Heidi village Grevasalvas, which was the filming location for the Heidi movie in the 70s, you ascend over alpine meadows to the large plain of Plaun Grand and from there it goes steeply upward to the dreamy Lej Nair, which invites you to a refreshing swim and a welcome cool down before the summit ascent in high summer. Over the impressive, glacier-polished rock ridge, which resembles a giant grey elephant's back, you approach the Piz step by step. Small plains and hollows are suitable for climbing and resting breaks and, with some luck, you may even spot ibex or chamois. Before the spectacular 360° panorama on the summit delights and fascinates, the ascent over the broad ridge still requires some stamina. The roughly 1110 meters steep descent over the same path requires less stamina but strong bones. The summit experiences and the spectacular valley view from a bird's eye perspective of the unique Upper Engadin lake landscape and the surrounding mountains accompany you meanwhile.
