Hüttenweg Chamanna Cluozza

On hot days, the midday hours should not be chosen for the ascent. The area around "Il Pra" is to be avoided during thunderstorms.

From Zernez station (1474 m above sea.M level) through the village eastwards towards the Ofenpass and on the covered wooden bridge over the Spöl. From here two variants: The western path leads after a piece of tarred road on a dirt road towards the forest, turns sharply to the east and then gradually rises. The eastern path leads on a cart path through meadows into a larch forest, rises steeply and finally meets the dirt road described above. From here to the east to the Sarasinstein, located on the edge of the Cluozza Gorge, which is dedicated to one of the founding personalities of the Swiss National Park. The path zigzags to Il Pra. There follows the turnoff to the south. The path runs along the partly steep eastern slope of the Murtaröl ridge through extensive pine fields. After a small fountain, the trail reaches the highest point of the tour, on a green ground (2100 m above sea level.M), which offers a beautiful view of the Val Cluozza and the southern slopes of the Terza chain. Chamois, deer and ibex often appear there, especially in the evening light. The path now leads downhill, with some sloping spots, and reaches the Ova da Cluozza via the meadow Il Grass. This is crossed on a bridge, then the path leads uphill again, and reaches the Chamanna Cluozza (1882 m above sea level.M.) after 80 meters of altitude.
