Senda Sursilvana Alpina - Etappe 5: Bifertenhütte - Pigniu

In the morning, the hike starts from the Bifertenhütte up to Falla Leng. The terrain is barren and stony, and with a bit of luck chamois can be observed. On the Fuorcla da Gavirolas, the scenery changes: wide alpine meadows, tinkling cowbells and glittering streams accompany the path. Behind a hilltop, the view opens up to the Panixer Pass and the majestic Graubünden mountains. Instead of branching off to the pass, the path continues to Alp Mer.

A special highlight is the traverse under the Crap Tigliau, not least because of the turquoise Lag da Pigniu, which shimmers deep below. Past Alp Ranasca, the stage finally ends in the charming mountain village of Pigniu.

Hint: In Pigniu there is only one hotel and accommodation facility: the Hotel Alpina. The hotel/restaurant is closed on Mondays and Tuesdays. The bus connections to Ilanz are limited, so check the departure times in advance on the SBB app and plan the hike accordingly.

For the tour, early reservation of the huts is necessary, as places are limited.
