Description

Starting point is Celerina train station. Past the station to the valley station of the Marguns gondola and from there up the forest road to Marguns (alternatively, the Marguns gondola can also be taken). From Marguns continue to the Corviglia mountain station. Now just under 200 meters of altitude remain to the highest point: first on a steep gravel road, then on a dream path around Piz Nair to the Suvretta Pass. Here begins the flowing trail that winds down for just under six kilometers through this magnificent high mountain basin of Val Suvretta. In Val Bever, the path flows into a well-maintained gravel road, whose waves also make great fun. Return via Samedan to Celerina.

If you still haven't had enough, we recommend the rear Val Bever, where the landscape and especially the Beverin river can be seen in its wild, unspoilt state. Against this backdrop, it has been awarded the ‘Gewässerperle PLUS’ label since summer 2021.

Gewässerperle PLUS – a natural gem of national importance

The Beverin is the first river in Switzerland to be awarded the ‘Gewässerperle PLUS’ label. The 13.5-kilometre-long mountain stream received this special honour because it has remained largely untouched by humans – a true wild stream without artificial corrections. From its source near Piz d'Err to just before Bever, the Beverin meanders freely through the picturesque Val Bever, surrounded by valuable fens and floodplain landscapes. This unspoilt mountain water world provides an ideal habitat for many rare animal and plant species, including otters, brown trout, stoneflies and numerous willow species. The label recognises not only the ecological value of the Beverin, but also the commitment of the municipality of Bever to preserving this unique natural paradise.
