Description
At the Acletta stream, after the bridge, we put on our snowshoes and follow the trail along the cross-country ski trail to the stone-lined hiking trail below the Sala Plauna. The descent down to the Rhine to Fontanivas is short. The campsite with the lake is in hibernation, it is very lonely and quiet here. After we have crossed Lukmanierstrasse the path becomes exciting. It leads us into a gorge, along the Rhine to Cuflons. Between the trees we have a view of the stream bed with remarkable whirlpools. We reach the other side of the stream via an old bridge that was already used by pack mules and pilgrims on their way over the Lukmanier Pass in the Middle Ages. We take the climb up to the Sontga Gada chapel slowly. The chapel is closed in winter, which is why we continue the hike on the winter hiking trail to the train station. We no longer need the snowshoes.
