This rather easy circular trail around the Lag da Pigniu to Pigniu village is characterized by the breathtaking natural scenery in the rock basin, where Alexander Suvorov (Russian strategist, general of the 18th century) had once left the footsteps.

Description

The 8km tour starts at the parking lot at the end of the small village of Pigniu. After almost 800m, the path leads left at the fork in the road down to Val Schmuer, where the entrance to the trail is located. Before you can walk around the lake at the height of lag da Pigniu, about 200 meters of altitude must be mastered, after that the strictest part of this tour is already over and the wonderful mountain scenery can be enjoyed to the fullest without major climbs. This trail running route choice is very suitable for beginners who want to get the feeling of running on trails over roots and stones and having to pass steep climbs. This place is really an insider tip for those who want to take a short round of "trail runs" and still want to be on the road with a certain "touch mountain feeling" in their trouser bag.
