Curaglia - Platta
Route Information
Best Time of Year
Description
We discover the landscape in Val Medel on a leisurely hike, away from the Lukmanier pass road. First we hike a short distance to Plaun da Punt, on the Rein da Medel. An old stone bridge crosses the stream here, an impressive structure from the time of the traders and muleteers. We take a look at the stream bed deep below us and then walk back along the same path. Then, with the midday sun on our faces, we follow the prepared path into the valley to Platta. In between, we have to switch briefly to the main road, but from the Baselgia section we enjoy the crunching snow under our boots once again.
We enquired beforehand whether the restaurant of the Hotel Della Posta is open, so that we can stop for a coffee in the warm restaurant before the Postbus takes us back to Curaglia. http://hotel-dalla-posta-platta.swissalpshotels.net
