Description
The scenic ascent to the Maighelshütte (2310 m above sea level) in the border area of Graubünden and Uri leads moderately ascending from the Oberalppass (2046 m above sea level) through the Val Maighels to the Urlaunsee.
The ascent path begins at the Oberalppass and leads from near the road up to an altitude of about 1980 m above sea level. Then it continues well signposted and marked towards Maighelshütte/Lai da Tuma, first flat, then mildly ascending along the eastern flank of the Pazolastock, until crossing the Rhine below Lai da Tuma.
Soon you reach the Urlaunsee (Lai Urlaun) and after a short ascent the Maighelshütte (2310 m above sea level) on the flank of Piz Cavradi. From the hut, you enjoy a magnificent view of the Maighel Glacier and Piz Ravetsch. The hut is also an ideal starting point for multi-day hikes towards Ticino, to Capanna Cadlimo and Val Piora, or to the Vermigelhütte and Andermatt.
