From Lavin railway station, walk through the village down to the Inn bridge. Immediately after crossing the Inn, the trail branches off to the left. Through a small section of forest you reach the wide plains along the Inn. The trail continues with slight ascents and descents back into the forest and below Giarsun the Inn is crossed again. The last section of the trail leads through the hamlet of Giarsun and finally to Guarda railway station.
Author’s recommendation
On the other side of the valley is the highest mountain in the Lower Engadine, Piz Linard. The ruins of Gonda can be seen above the railway line.
