Winter circular hike Las Squadras

The name "Las Squadras" has always been used by the locals. The pleasant circular walk can be started and ended from any of the four villages.

We start in Rabius at Hotel Greina and walk along the old road over the Rhine to Surrein. From the eastern edge of the village, at the Placi Pign restaurant, follow the elongated village of Surrein, partially parallel to the cross-country ski trail "Nordic Surselva." When the end of the plain is reached, the Rhine can be crossed via the "Punt Gonda" bridge. The cross-country ski trail also runs along the left side of the Rhine. We ask winter hikers to be considerate of skiers and the trail.

After passing Resgia, the road leads to Cumpadials and then uphill towards Sumvitg to the Ustria dalla Staziun. From there, the path runs along the sunny slope below Sumvitg.

From here, you have a slightly different view to the north of Sumvitg with its impressive St. John the Baptist church and to the south of the Surrein plain, where you can watch the swift cross-country skiers.

The route then partly follows the old cantonal road, which has been used for slow traffic since the new bridge was built. You pass through the small hamlet of Runs with its picturesque St. Nicholas chapel before returning to Rabius.

Please note the current signage regarding any possible trail closures.
