Description

After about 300 m along the road, the hiking trail branches off to the left to Terzana, over the idyllic Poz da Rügiul, continue towards Terzana until the turnoff to Aura Freida. After a 100 meter climb we reach the beautiful high moor Plan San Francesc with wonderful views to Piz Varuna, Palü glacier and Piz Palü. A road (dirt road) turns out to be a panoramic path, past various viewpoints and hamlets we slowly descend to Poschiavo. Poschiavo welcomes us with a southern ambience. The piazza, surrounded by the imposing church and the stately buildings, shows us another world. The restaurants lure with the finest gelati and we have earned it now! The return journey with the Rhaetian Railway is an adventure trip, as it leads through helical tunnels, past milky glacial lakes and bluish shimmering glaciers
