In Celerina, the gondola takes you up to Marguns. From Alp Marguns, you hike up the mountain flank to Munt da la Bês-cha, where you can delight in fabulous views over the magnificent high-lying valley and into the Bernina Massif. The hike continues along Piz Padella to the awe-inspiring Alp Muntatsch. After a rest, walk down the zigzag path to the village of Samedan.
