The challenging hike leads over the Corvatsch Middle station Murtèl to the Hahnensee. A wonderful view is guaranteed! On the descent through the God Surlej, the two mountain lakes Lej Nair and Lej Marsch invite you to refresh yourself.

Turn-by-turn directions

  • From Silvaplana, walk in the direction of Surlej.
  • After the Surlej bridge, take the first junction on the right and walk past the Crap da Sass castle in the direction of the waterfall.
  • Before the waterfall, a forest path leads up along the waterfall to the Corvatsch valley station.
  • From there, follow the signpost in the direction of the Murtèl middle station.
  • Alternatively, you can also take the Corvatsch cable car to the middle station.
  • From the Murtèl middle station, the trail leads in the direction of Fuorcla Surlej and Hahnensee.
  • Shortly before Fuorcla Surlej, the trail branches off to the left to Hahnensee.
  • The descent to Hahnensee, which leads over loose scree, requires surefootedness and good footwear.
  • At Hahnensee, take the path towards St. Moritz and Lej Nair, passing Lej Nair and Lej Marsch.
  • For a leisurely end to the hike, head back along the lakeshore to Silvaplana.
