This winter panorama trail leads from Sta. Maria (1,342 m above sea level) to Müstair (1,247 m above sea level). After a first slight incline, the path goes almost flat always on the sunny side of the valley along the edge of the forest and slightly downhill towards the end. It is a leisurely hike that can also be done well with children.
Author’s recommendation
Before setting off, you can visit the Manufactura Tessanda hand-weaving workshop in Sta. Maria, and the UNESCO World Heritage monastery of St. Johann awaits you in Müstair.
