Bluäma Wäg Avers (Flower Walk)

After a short stretch, a first, purple flowering meadow follows, the scent of which seems to be in the air: there are magnificent carnations in large numbers. Shortly afterwards, the first stands of the massive Alpine mountain saddle with their large, purple flower heads appear. Past old mountain huts, the path soon becomes lonely and leads through former wild hay fields, where a good dozen plant species shine in purple variations for the favor of bees and butterflies, including the purple shiny scabiosis. The splendour of the flowers is impressive, as is the steepness of the slopes. The cultivation of these remote mountain meadows was successively abandoned until the early seventies, and today they lie fallow.
A project by Pro Natura Graubünden aims to mow them regularly again so that the original diversity is further promoted. At the highest point of the hike, at 2100 metres, the violet-blue flowering Himmelsleiter grows, further down in the tall herbaceous meadow near the Starlera mountain pasture, you will encounter the pruned lice herb with its purple overflowing leaves and the violet-blue flowering Scheuchzer's Rapunzel.
