Lägh Cavloc & the Forno hut
From the Larch to the Glacier
Spring, summer, autumn, winter - the Lägh Cavloc is always worth a trip. The lake is idyllically situated at 1907 m above sea level, surrounded by larches, and is easy to reach on foot and by bike. In the background, the Pizzi dei Rossi tower over the landscape, which are reflected in the lake when there is no wind. In summer, you can either linger at the barbecue areas around the lake or take a seat on the terrace at Sandro Marazzi and indulge in culinary delights. Food cooked on wood tastes different, even better - and that is the case here. Before you head back, it is worth visiting the Alp Cavloc - the goat cheese that is produced here is worth another sin.
Via Bitabergh and the Pass dal Caval
If you want to hike a little longer, you can first take the path from the car park in Orden over the dam, through the larch forest, following the smugglers' path to the Bitaberghsee. From here, two paths lead to the Lägh Cavloc, the longer of the two leading over Motta Salecina and the Pass dal Caval. From Motta Salecina you have a wonderful view of the Bergell and over Lake Sils. In summer, the alpine roses compete to bloom and the view from above of the Lägh Cavloc is worth every step. The same hike can also be done in the opposite direction. If you need to cool off - go ahead, the Lägh Cavloc does not disappoint in that regard either.

The Fornohütte
The path through the Val Forno to the SAC hut takes you through all the vegetation levels of a magnificent mountain landscape - from the forests of Maloja through the alpine rose fields and meadows above the Lägh da Cavloc to a glacier foreland with many marmots. Past the lake and the alp, the hiking trail turns right at Plan Canin into the Val Forno. The climb to the glacier plain is leisurely. The last hour is a steeper zigzag path - but the hut flag and thus the destination are in sight. The hosts are Alena and Beat Kühnis with their daughter Lara and the hut team. A trademark of the hut is the good food - so if you are only making a day trip without staying overnight in the hut, you can keep the food from your backpack for later. Instead, enjoy a few homemade Capuns here - at 2574 m above sea level - if that isn't a highlight!
