At the summit of Piz Nair, you can enjoy views of the Engadin lakes from all sides, and also have an opportunity to assess your forthcoming hiking route from above. The first section follows a steep route down Piz Nair to Munt da San Murezzan. A wide, relatively flat path continues to the Alpina hut, and then steeply down to Corviglia. From Corviglia, you take the trail via Sass Runzöl, past the special limestone formations to Alp Nova. Shortly afterwards, you cross under the Corviglia railway line and follow a long bend leading to Chantarella.
