Beschreibung

The viaCapricorn leads in three daily stages through pristine alpine landscapes right through the territory of the ibex colony at Piz Beverin with about 350 animals. The viaCapricorn is a mountain hike. For experienced hikers, each stage requires about 5-7 hours of walking time.


For wildlife observation, binoculars or a telescope are recommended in addition to mountain equipment. The hike passes through the Schams and Safien alpine world with its rich alpine fauna and flora and unique geology. On the Glaspass and in Safiental, there are rich Walser cultural landscapes to discover. On Alperschälli or in the area around Piz Beverin, it only takes a bit of luck to observe the impressive wild ibex in the wild.



Tip
From Wergenstein, use the hiking bus and save some altitude:
