Description

Behind the Hotel Posta in Platta, the hiking trail first leads us over pastures, later through the forest to Alp Puzzetta, one of the oldest alps in the canton of Graubünden, which has always been grazed by goats. The fact that this alp has been preserved over so many years can certainly be attributed to the well-located, large, and high-quality pastures.

In spring 2005, the dilapidated hut was rebuilt and today forms a very special attraction with its red building radiating far into the landscape. We take a long rest near the alp building before descending almost in a straight line through the forest down to Fuorns. On the left side, we occasionally have a view of the wild waters rushing down from Val Buora.

In Fuorns, we cross to the other side of the valley and enjoy the leisurely hike along the Rein da Fuorns, past the picturesque houses and alpine huts of Muots, Matergia, and Drual to Platta.
