Details

Beschreibung

From the Lavin train station, the path first descends into the village center and follows the signposts towards Chamonna Linard to the western village exit. Passing under the Engadin road and the railway tracks, you reach the Crusch plain. The tour continues slightly uphill to the viewpoint above the loading station at the Vereina tunnel. Every 30 or 20 minutes, you can watch the lively activity of loading and unloading car trains at this important Engadin traffic hub. The return route follows the same path.

Geheimtipp

The name Lavin originates from the Roman word "labi" which means landslides or avalanches. This makes sense when you look up at the steep slopes and gullies of Piz Chapisun, which rises north of the path. Today the slopes are secured by state-of-the-art technology; if you look closely, you can see avalanche blasting masts on the highest visible rocks above the path, which can trigger avalanches remotely.

Sicherheitshinweis

The path is prepared after every snowfall. Please pay attention to the condition reports in the winter sports report. The route was rated under favorable weather conditions; the current snow and weather conditions must be observed before starting.
