Beschreibung

Day 1: We enjoy the morning freshness and distract ourselves from the monotony of the first four kilometers of road in Val Cristallina with conversations about "God and the world". At the water catchment in Val Uffiern , we change to the hiking trail towards Lago Retico and the landscape begins to become more and more interesting. We pass the Stavel dil Laiets hut, where sheep and goats graze, and a little later we manage the climb up to the Laiets. A little later we reach Lago Retico, whose shore is interspersed with polished rocks.

On a grassy ridge we now continue uphill to the rocky ridge of Sasso Lanzone. We are on the Sentiero Stambecchi, the ibex path. Before we reach the ridge, it becomes quite steep, the path is partly secured with chains. On the ridge we are surprised by the view down to the other side of the valley, into the Val Uffiern with the Lago Uffiern. We carefully put our feet over the ridge until we descend sideways again towards Passo Uffiern. We can already see the Scaletta hut on the opposite side of the valley, but it is still a few hundred metres to the valley floor. Once at the bottom, we mobilize the last of our strength for the counter-ascent to the hut. After dinner, we are visited by Capricorns. The animals dare to go almost to the terrace in front of the hut.

Day 2: Behind the hut we cross the rushing Brenno della Greina and follow it on a white/blue marked path to the Piano della Greina. The stony path is still in the shade and again and again large boulders block the direct passage. We reach a signpost on the right pointing to the Arco Greina, a 15-metre-long natural stone arch. After a photo stop, we continue our tour on the opposite bank of the stream. For a while we still have fragrant earth, flowers and grasses under and next to our shoes, but soon it becomes barren and rocky. At point 2496 the mountain range is reflected in a small lake, if we look north we see that we still have to hike over larger snowfields to the Fuorcla Sura da Lavaz.

Once at the top, a cool wind blows around our noses, but there is not much left of the glacier da Lavaz. In July there is still firn, but when it has melted, you only walk on loose rock. We follow the white/blue markings and make a detour to the emerald green glacial lake. Back on the route, we reach the Rein da Vigluts, where a counter-ascent of 350 meters in altitude awaits us to the Medelserhütte. Step by step we approach the hut, where we take a break.

We master the last section of the tour on the initially stony hut approach. At Alp Sura it becomes more leisurely and we can let our soul and legs dangle a little until we reach Curaglia.

If you have parked your car at the beginning of Val Cristallina, take the post bus in the direction of the Lukmanier Pass to the bus stop in Pardatsch.

Geheimtipp

Take binoculars with you. We hike through Capricorn territory.

Sicherheitshinweis

If the glazier has apere spots, avoid them and switch to firn fields.

On a few days a year, shooting exercises are carried out by the army in Val Cristallina. The shooting indicator can be found at: www.medel.ch

Ausrüstung

Hiking poles provide security on the snowfields and in the descent.

Wegbeschreibung

Day 1: From the Postbus stop Pardatsch in Val Medel we follow the road into Val Cristallina. At the end of the road, a signpost points us uphill to Passo Cristallina and Lago Retico. It has no branches on the way. On the southern side of the lake we find the next signpost. Now we follow the markings in an easterly direction. The Sentiero Stambecchi was marked white/blue until a few years ago. But now it is painted white/red and the path corresponds to a T3 on the trekking scale.  The path leads us up to the stony ridge Sasso Lanzone and back down to the Passo Uffiern. From there it goes over meadows to Pian Geireth. As soon as we have reached the valley floor we follow the hut access to the Scalettahütte

Day 2: Behind the hut, after the stream, we find a signpost. A blue sign points us along the stream to a plain where the Greina arch is located on the right. Here we cross the stream in a northerly direction.  In the upper area, the path is less and less visible, which is why we always focus on the white/blue markings. This is how we reach the Fuorcla sura da lavaz. Continuing to follow the markings, we descend to about point 2200. Through a small valley we now ascend towards Medelserhütte. After the first ascent follows a flatter part, after which it goes steeply upwards again. From the hut we follow the well-marked hut access to Curaglia.
