At the beginning a somewhat steeper tour but a very rewarding ascent to Lai Nair with Piz Pisoc in the background, down to the small settlement of Avrona and back to Tarasp, Fontana past the castle.

On the circular route you can see the Catholic Church of Tarasp, beautiful Lai Nair and the view from the vantage point «Mot da la Crusch».

Author’s recommendation

On the way back from Avrona, it is worth making a short detour to Munt da la Crusch (opposite the transmitters) as you leave the forest. From here you have wonderful views over Scuol, Sent and Ftan.

Combine the tour with a guided tour of Tarasp Castle.
