viaCapricorn (3 stages)

The Center da Capricorns in Casti-Wergenstein on the Schamserberg is home to several organisations and services. The project was initiated by the Fundaziun Capricorn, which runs the local hotel and restaurant and promotes sustainable tourism. An exhibition provides information about the nature park and the ibex.

The capricorn exhibition in the Center da Capricorns in Wergenstein imparts exciting and interesting information about the king of the Alps. The ibex was reintroduced 60 years ago in the region of the nature park and there are now about 300 animals.

High up on the Schamserberg, just behind the Carnusapass, lies the Lai la scotga (Romansh for Scots Lake) on the "Via Capricorn" mountain hiking trail in the direction of Carnusa/Glaspass.

The Gasthaus Rathaus has a cosy dining room, the Gothic council room and a sunny garden terrace with a children's playground. Enjoy delicacies from the regional cuisine as well as fine homemade cakes.

Two observation points have been installed in the Alperschälli area, high above Wergenstein and the Safiental valley.

The standard equipment on the Via Capricorn includes good shoes, a water bottle and a warm jacket for higher altitudes, but above all: binoculars. At the latest after the steep ascent from Alp Biggenmad up to Alperschälli, the binoculars should be ready to hand. This is where the ibex can be observed particularly often.

The idyllic Lai Grand (Romansh for large lake) is located in the Anarosa area behind the Nurdagn Alp (agritourism offer with catering and overnight accommodation) at 2386 m. ü. M. on the "Via Capricorn" mountain hiking trail in the direction of Farcletta digl Lai Grand.

The dreamy Lai Pintg (Romansh for small lake) is located in the Anarosa area behind the Nurdagn Alp (agritourism offering catering and accommodation) at 2312 m. ü. M. on the mountain hiking trail in the direction of Farcletta digl Lai Pintg and the SAC Cufercal hut.

Humble place to eat and sleep on the newly refurbished Alp Nurdagn high above the treeline, with spectacular views over the mountains. Ideal for mountaineers, nature lovers and family with kids. Simple food from local products.
