Samedan Summer Hikes

This fantastic high-altitude hike offers a wonderful view of the Bernina massif and the Engadine. The Marguns (Celerina) gondola lift takes you to lofty heights. You walk past the Alp Marguns up the flank to the Munt da la Bês-cha, where the brilliant view over the high valley and the Bernina massif invites you to linger and admire. The route continues along the Piz Padella to the stately Alp Muntatsch, which invites hikers and bikers to take a well-deserved rest with its sun terrace and homemade delicacies. You then descend to Samedan via a zigzag path.

Marmots and chamois can be observed on this varied route. The path leads from the Hotel Restaurant Roseg Gletscher over the bridge of the Ova da Roseg and climbs steadily from the mountainside. The Sella group with the Roseg and Sella glaciers and the wide riverbed of the Ova da Roseg are always in view. A short time later you hike along the glacier moraine of the Tschierva glacier towards the Tschierva hut, where an impressive view awaits you. The view of the imposing Piz Roseg, the Piz Bernina with the famous Biancograt and the Tschierva glacier accompanies you every step of the way. The descent takes place on the same route.

This leisurely hike combines various highlights of the Engadine. From a unique view of the Bernina massif, to a clear mountain lake, to the sighting of marmots, there is a lot on offer. The ride on the funicular up to Muottas Muragl gives you an idea of the panorama that awaits you at around 2500 m above sea level - until this expectation is even exceeded on the viewing platform of the Romantik Hotel Muottas Muragl!

The signposted hike begins on the left above the panoramic path with a slight incline. Along the path and right through the high alpine landscape, there is an excellent view of the rock glacier, which slowly moves down towards the valley like a lava flow. After a good hour you reach the Lej Muragl (2715 m). If you look closely, you can even spot fish in the water. The route back downhill goes along a river over cow pastures and untouched mountain landscapes. After another hour you will reach the top station of the funicular railway again, from where you can take a leisurely ride back down into the valley after a refreshment.
