Best Time of Year
Description
The viaCapricorn starts in Wergenstein at the Center da Capricorns and leads through the Wergenstein pastures to the Maiensäß Dumagns with its typical small wooden huts and the associated larger barns. Further on through the Val da Larisch, the habitat of the black grouse, and over Tguma da Tumpriv to the Carnusapass. With some luck, ibexes can already be spotted here - or chamois, ptarmigans, snow hares… From Carnusapass the hiking trail passes the turquoise-colored Lai la Scotga, inviting you to rest (Romansh for Schotten Lake; Schotte is a cheese by-product, also called whey or sirte).
The descent goes via Tritthütta, Mittler Hütte and Carnusahütte down to Stäg, where the Carnusabach is crossed. This is followed by an ascent of around 260 meters and the day’s goal, the mountain guesthouse Beverin on Glaspass, is reached.
Tip Use the hiking bus and gain some altitude starting from Wergenstein:
