The route starts behind Club Med (or Ovaverva indoor swimming pool) in St. Moritz Bad and leads first on forest paths and then along single trails in the forest up to the Alp Staz. Here you can briefly enjoy the beautiful views over St. Moritz and the Corviglia before continuing along beautiful trails through the forest up to the “Muottas Schlarigna” turn-off. Here you turn right and already find yourself on another trail that leads over gently undulating terrain towards the Hahnensee. Here it is worth taking a break before heading via wonderful trails down towards the Lej Nair. At this picturesque lake, you can take a dip or continue down towards the Lej Marsch. From this moor lake, the trail leads via the campsite back to the starting point at the Ovaverva swimming pool.

Author’s recommendation

Just before you come to the crossroads at Muottas da Schlarigna, there is an over 1000 year old Swiss stone pine on your left.
