The spectacular journey up to Muottas Muragl by funicular railway is a good indicator of the sort of panorama that awaits you. The views of the Engadin (lake) landscape and the mountain scenery are without doubt unique. The signposted hiking trail begins on the left, above the panoramic trail, with a gentle ascent. Along the trail, past flora and fauna and the many charms of this high-alpine landscape, there are excellent views of the rock glacier slowly inching its way like a lava flow towards the valley. A good hour's hiking sees you reach the delightful lake of Lej Muragl (2715 m), resplendent in its magnificent colours.

We found many cows curiously watching us when we hiked along the trail. Once you reach the lake you can continue towards Chamanna Segantini or also return the same way back down.

Duration: 2:40h Distance: 7.4km Ascent: 410m Descent: 410m
