Via Engiadina, Stage 3/12

From the Corviglia, St. Moritz’s local mountain, a narrow path leads along the steep hillside across alpine pastures high above the tree line. The view of the valley floor and the mountain peaks above Pontresina is breathtaking. The hike ends in the attractive village of Bever.

From the Marguns (Val Saluver) stop, the mountain path sets off across open slopes. Initially it continues to climb, reaching its highest point at just under 2,500 m after around two kilometres. Here, rocky sections mingle with the pastures. From then on, the route heads almost entirely downhill, traversing the heights in broad bends with a few short counter-ascents.

A little beyond the halfway point, the path passes Alp Muntatsch, an inviting place for a break. The meadows then gradually give way to forest. The descent remains clearly perceptible, losing a total of over 800 metres in elevation by the time it reaches Bever. Over the final few kilometres, the valley floor draws closer before the mountain path comes to an end in Bever. After ten kilometres and just under three hours, the railway station is only a few minutes away.
