The hiking trail along the UNESCO World Heritage route of the Rhaetian Railway runs as close as possible to the Albula and Bernina lines and repeatedly provides enchanting views of a more than 100-year-old synthesis of the arts in a magnificent Alpine landscape.
After Lago Bianco, coloured whitish by the glacier water, you'll head up to the fantastic vantage point of Sassal Mason with views of Piz Palü with its almost tangible glacier, the heart-shaped Lagh da Palü, Alp Grüm and the Val Poschiavo. The idyllic high valley of Cavaglia below invites you to linger.
Note(s)
- Attention: Snowfields are possible on high sections until the summer months
- Ideal stage for families.
