Pizza Grossa Loop

This eventful round trip starts from Plang la Curvanera. In the summer months, we recommend taking the bike and hiking bus, which will take you comfortably to the starting point. The first kilometers are characterized by trails through cow pastures, which quickly gain altitude until you reach the 2370-meter mark. A long traverse leads to the meadows below the Tinzenhorn and finally to the beautiful turquoise lake Lai Tigiel. From there, the steeper climb to the Pass digls Orgels begins, which rewards you with a breathtaking view over the landscapes of the Val Surses. Then it goes over hill and dale through the Val d'Err and via Penza back to Savognin.

hints:

You can also take the bike and hiking bus from Penza back to the village. Please note the bike and hiking bus timetable in summer at: www.valsurses.ch/transporte.

There is no catering on the route. Water is only available very late on the route in Castelas.
