Depart from Pontresina directly under the chairlift Languard. Steep switchbacks bring you through the forest and into the high plateau of the Val Languard. A traversing climb stretches along the hillside above Pontresina to reach the Chamanna Segantini. From the hut, the trail drops along wide stone steps into the Val Muragl. Descending through the forest, you'll wrap nearly back to Pontresina before splitting into Muragl and crossing the Flaz. Lej da Staz is your next aim just before reaching the shore of Lej da San Murezzan and the final lakeside strides into the finish: St. Moritz.

Author’s recommendation

A stop at the Segantini Hut is a must. The view of the Upper Engadin lake district and the Bernina Group is magnificent.
