Maloja - Lunghin Watershed - Casaccia

The hiking trail starts between the Maloja Palace Hotel and the Post Office. Passing Pila, the trail winds ever higher up the steep slope. Occasional rests are worthwhile because the view over the Upper Engadine lake district and the magnificent Engadine and Bergell peaks is breathtaking. After numerous loops, you reach the Lägh dal Lunghin. The path follows the shore of the lake before ascending again to the Lunghin Pass. Here there is a three-part watershed: the Inn, which flows through the Engadine and then into the Danube towards the Black Sea; the Julia, which flows with the Rhine into the North Sea; and the Maira, which flows with the Po into the Adriatic Sea. The trail continues over a plateau to the Septimer Pass. This pass was already used by the Romans. You can still partially see carved traces from their ox carts. The path first descends gently before dropping steeply down to the river. Following the Alpstrasse, you reach Casaccia.
