Forcellina crossing and Piz Turba

The route over the Forcellina was formerly, like the mule track over the Septimer Pass, a well-known and frequently traveled route.
Below we describe the route from Casaccia to Forcellina and from there the ascent to Piz Turba, from where you have a breathtaking view of the rugged Bergell mountains and the extensive mountain panorama to the north.

If you want to descend to Juf: From the Forcellina Pass, follow the path until the trail branches off towards Furcola da la Valletta and Bivio. Here keep left towards Juf/Avers. The descent to Juf, where there are accommodation options and a postal bus stop, takes about one and a half hours from the pass.

From the parking lot next to the cemetery in Casaccia, follow the path into the Val Maroz. At 1791 m, the old mule track branches off towards the Septimer Pass. Then follows a steep ascent along the Aua da Sett until the terrain flattens and at 2310 m you reach the Septimer Pass. From here, the path leads west across wide grassy slopes past some small mountain lakes. The path winds around rocky prominences and finally up to the Forcellina Pass (2672 m), where the wide, grass-covered valley basin of the Jufer Alp appears.

To reach Piz Turba, turn off from the pass onto a faint trail southwards. A little further a flat slope opens up, which you cross straight to reach a moraine ridge marked by several cairns. In this way, you reach the foot of the last summit face of Piz Turba. Over scree slopes on the right side, ascend to a beautiful ridge and then easily to the summit (3018 m).
The descent takes the same route.
