Description

From Lumbrein, the path initially follows the (usually) snow-cleared road uphill towards Punt Val Mulin. Above the last barns, the snow-covered winter hiking trail begins, leading to the impressive wooden bridge of Val Mulin. After crossing the bridge, the trail continues towards Val Miedra. The path passes through open meadows and mostly through the deeply snow-covered forest. Above Vrin, the winter hiking trail merges with the main road. The last 500 meters follow the main road into the village of Vrin.

Hidden Gem

You can also hike only as far as Nussaus (about half of the route) and then continue by postbus from there (free in winter).

Safety Note

The tour should not be undertaken in uncertain weather conditions. Weather changes in the mountains are frequent. If a bad weather front or similar conditions arise during the hike, you should turn back in time.

Equipment

Bring provisions with a hot drink, sturdy and high hiking boots or winter boots, warm clothing, sunscreen, and hiking poles if possible.
