Description
When we get off the train at Oberalp Pass, the lighthouse immediately catches our eye, symbolizing the source of the Rhine. However, we hike in the opposite direction towards Pass Tiarms, where we reach the highest point of the route. It then gently descends, first into Val Val, then along a high trail and past charming alpine farms in Scharinas to Milez. The flag of the mountain inn Tegia las Palas is hoisted, a good sign! We stop here and take time to enjoy the wonderful view of the villages Rueras and Sedrun.
The route continues via Mulinatsch and above Rueras towards Sedrun. Those who want can take a detour down to the village.
Otherwise, we stay close to the railway line and cross the impressive viaduct at Bugnei. At Mompé Tujetsch, we already see Disentis, and in Segnas we admire the charming farmhouses built in the typical Walser framework style. In Acletta, we visit the church Maria Immaculata, known for the altarpiece by master Francesco Nuvolone, created in Milan in 1655.
On low-traffic roads and side paths, we end the hike. Passing the valley station of the cable cars and the sports center until we reach Disentis station.
