Details

Description

This circular route starts and ends in the mountain pass village of Bivio and offers fascinating views of Lake Marmorera, known for its intense green-blue color. The lake was created by the construction of a dam in the 1950s, which flooded the village of Marmorera – a project that attracted national attention. The route leads over Alp Radons to Alp Flix and then on to Sur, before running over the dam and back to Bivio. The route continuously offers beautiful trails and impressive views of the Julier Valley.

Geheimtipp

Places to stop for food and drink at Alp Natons, Alp Flix, and in Sur. If you can’t go any further, you can take the post bus from Sur back to Bivio. The post bus Salouf - Savognin and Savognin - Julier Pass is included in the Val Surses guest card.
