“Engadin. What mountains, what lakes, what light.” This is the slogan of Engadin, and this is exactly why we want to spend the weekend hiking there. Two days of challenging hike, one night at 2574m above sea level by the glacier, countless mountain lakes, wildlife… If that appeals to you, join us this weekend!

This trip is led by a mountain leader.

What’s the plan?

Day 1: Maloja – Fornohütte

We meet at Maloja, Posta at 10:37, at the arrival of the train. From there we start our hike to Fornohütte. The first part is on a beautiful trail through the forest, until we reach the stunning Lake da Cavloc where we can have our picnic. From there, we have two alternatives to hike to Fornohütte. If the conditions permit, we take the panorama trail which takes us to Val Muretto and then up to 2750m, scrambling on rocks with amazing views of the Forno glacier, before slightly going down to Fornohütte. The hut offers the best views of the glacier. Dinner and night at the hut, after a full body stretching session.

Technical information: 13.5km – 1200m ascent – 500m descent

Day 2: Fornohütte – Capanna da l’Albigna – Pranzaira

After an early breakfast, we start our long and strenuous but stunning hike to Albigna via Pass da Casnil Sud at 2940m. We start with a descent along the glacier. The climb that follows, to the pass, is long and requires the use of the hands, it has some ladders and chains. Once we reach the mountain pass and enjoy the views for a moment, we start our descent to Capanna da l’Albigna which is located by Lake da l’Albigna, a beautiful reservoir with turquoise waters. We can have our picnic near the hut and enjoy a nice coffee there, before taking the cable car down to Pranzaira to return home.

Technical information: 11.5km – 1050m ascent – 1000m descent
