Trail run Savognin - Motta Palousa - Savognin

The tour starts in the upper village part of Savognin. After a short section on asphalt, you soon move onto beautiful forest paths with a pleasant but steady incline. After about 5 km, most of the elevation gain is done, and flowy trails lead through beautiful mountain scenery. The high-altitude path from the roof of the tour to the summit of Motta Palousa is pure trail running enjoyment. Once at the summit, the impressive panoramic view invites a short break. Then, go back along the same route for a few hundred meters until the path turns off to the right. At the beginning, the downhill is steep and a bit rough with loose stones. Soon the forest road becomes smoother and leads downhill in gentle curves. There is a drinking fountain at the Maiensäss Promastgel. After more downhill kilometers, the viewpoint at the pavilion offers the opportunity to pause briefly again. Shortly thereafter, the lowest point is reached and the trail runs slightly undulating past barbecue and playgrounds back to the starting point in Savognin. Tip: Return path also via the varied trails like on the ascent, instead of the forest road.

Those who wish can also take the bike and hiking bus to Plang la Curvanera and start from there. More information at valsurses.ch/transport
