Winter trail running: Samedan Sonnenhang

From the Muntarütsch shooting range (with parking available), the route leads via Quadrellas – although on an asphalt road – with a beautiful view of the Bernina massif to the San Peter church above Samedan where the proper trails begin. A short descent to the base station of the Survih ski lift paves the way towards the Cristolais nature friends' hut on a specially milled winter hiking trail which cannot be used in summer as it would lead over a lush green meadow. From the Cristolais turnaround point, the trail runs parallel to the Marguns-Samedan valley descent back to the base station of the Survih ski lift, which in this direction marks the start of the steep ascent towards "Sur San Peter." Upon reaching the culmination point after overcoming 102 meters of elevation difference, the path gently descends back to the Muntarütsch shooting range.

Those arriving by public transport or based in Samedan are best to start the Samedan Sonnenhang trail from the base station of the Survih ski lift towards Cristolais and return at the ski lift towards Muntarütsch before the loop closes again at the ski lift. The recommended public transport stop is Samedan Gemeindehaus with a short walk/warm-up through the village center to the base station of the ski lift.
