Via Capricorn - 1st stage

The Via Capricorn leads in 3 stages across the area of the Safien-Rheinwald ibex colony. On the 1st day you walk through beautiful alpine meadows, past Piz Beverin and the turquoise Schottensee. If you are lucky you will see the ibexes!

Author’s recommendation

At weekends from July to October the alpin Beverin bus runs from Wergenstein up to the Anorosa Alp (Tguma car park). With this possibility the walk can be shortened by a few kilometres and especially a lot of elevation. www.busalpin.ch

In Wergenstein the visit to the Capricorn exhibition is worthwhile as a warm-up for the ibex-dominated walk.
