Alp Languard via Segantini Hütte to Muottas Muragl
The hike starts at Alp Languard, which can be easily reached by chairlift from Pontresina. From here, the Bergwanderweg initially leads through open, high-alpine terrain towards Piz Languard. The path rises steadily and offers impressive views of the Bernina massif and the mountains around Pontresina right from the start.
At an altitude of around 2733 m a.s.l., we turn left onto the Steinbockweg. The highlight is the Chamanna Segantini at 2'731 meters - the highest point of the hike. The hut is closely linked to the painter Giovanni Segantini: He worked on his famous Alpine triptych up here and died on the Schafberg in 1899 at the age of only 41. Even today, this viewpoint is one of the most impressive panorama spots in the Upper Engadine.
After a break at the Chamanna Segantini, the descent into Val Muragl begins. The route leads steeply down along a narrow and partly stony Bergwanderweg before crossing the Ova da Muragl. A short ascent follows shortly after.
Finally, you reach Muottas Muragl. The viewing terrace high above the Engadine lake landscape offers an impressive view of the lakes of St. Moritz, Silvaplana, and Sils, as well as the surrounding peaks. This concludes a varied high-altitude hike that combines a spectacular mountain landscape with a piece of Engadine art history. From Muottas Muragl, we take the funicular down to the valley.
