In winter, Lü is the starting point for the high-altitude cross-country ski trail and the toboggan run to Tschierv. The four-kilometre trail starts directly at the post bus stop and leads leisurely on regular terrain through snow-covered forests to Tschierv. Where the slope leaves the forest, the panorama opens up to the opposite side of the valley and towards the east. Mighty: the Ortler massif, which presents itself in the background.Tschierv is the destination of the descent. The uppermost valley community in Val Müstair lies southeast of the Ofen Pass and borders on the Swiss National Park. Exciting: the residential buildings in Tschierv are influenced by both the Engadine and nearby South Tyrol. Worth seeing are especially the village parts Chasuras, Plaz and Süsom Tschierv as well as Tschierv church from the 15th century with its restored organ.
The toboggan run can also be started from Alp Champatsch, but you first have to walk from Lü towards Alp Chamaptsch. After the ascent to Alp Chamaptsch, refreshments can be taken at the La Posa restaurant and then the fast ride to Tschierv begins.
Author’s recommendation
Tip: From Lü, walk up to Alp Champatsch, where raclette or fondue can be ordered in advance when the moon is full, tel. +41 (0)81 858 56 02. Sledges can be hired in Lü, Müstair and Tschierv.
