Corvatsch 3303m - Murtél - Fuorcla Surej - Chamanna Coaz - Lej da Vadret - Roseg - (Pontresina)

It is unique to be able to get directly from the hotel to the cable car in less than a minute and then arriving at Corvatsch 3303m within 20 more minutes and to admire the glacier on top. The Hotel Nira Alpina is situated in the best place. As the tickets for the cable cars and public transport are included in the hotel price (from minimum 2 nights), we only had to see the glacier (or what is sadly left of it). The ride up and down is already super spectacular, but also the view itself at 3303 meters above sea level is overwhelming.

To start the official hike, you have to go back to the middle station Murtél and start from there. It is a very panoramic path with a few steep climbs and after 30 minutes you can cross the ridge and enjoy the view of Fuorcla Surej. The small lake with its reflections and the beautiful hut makes you want to stay longer. If you are planning a long hike, however, you should not rest here too long.

The path continues to the right at the back of the Val Roseg and you slowly approach the Vadret glacier and on the opposite side you will see a fantastic mountain scenery with some famous 4000m peaks like the Piz Bernina. The trail leads across beautiful flower meadows and again and again small waterfalls invite you to take a short break for refreshment.
