Best Time of Year
Description
This hike leads to the pass between Piz Trupchun and Piz Saliente, at the back of Val Trupchun on the border with Italy. Sure-footedness is required in the upper part of the steep route. In dull weather, ibex can already be observed in the valley floor. In warm summer weather, rather on the rocky ridges around the Fuorcla. On the one hand, the hike invites you to extend the simple hike to Alp Trupchun, on the other hand, it also offers the opportunity of a pass hike from S-chanf to Livigno (continuing hiking trail on the Italian side through the steep Valle del Saliente, hiking time: 2:30h). From Livigno, there is a bus connection with Silvestri Bus (Swiss tickets valid) to Zernez and Pontresina.
Note: Bringing dogs is not allowed in the Swiss National Park, not even on a leash. More information and all protection regulations can be found at nationalpark.ch/schutzbestimmungen.
