Intro
Day-long hike over the alpine pastures of Valpun up to Chrüz. At the idyllic mountain lake you can admire the white water lilies and dragonflies. Another highlight: the 70-metre-long suspension bridge over the Grüsttobel. You hike back to Pany via Tratza.
Description
Pany is situated on a sunny south-facing slope in the central part of the Prättigau valley. The starting point of the hike is the car park next to the ski lift above the mountain village. Passing the famous panoramic swimming pool with a view of Klosters and the surrounding mountain world, the path continues on a moderate ascent. At Ruobsteinen you will see the legendary Tüfelstein, the devil’s rock. On its surface you find strange round depressions. Legend has it that these depressions represent the fossilized fingerprints of the devil.
The path continues on a steady climb via Garongs, Lusi and Bova. Hiking through lush mountain meadows with rare flowers you reach the ridge and further on the Chrüz (2196 m above sea level), the highest point of the hike. Here you can enjoy some fantastic panoramic views and sign the summit book. The view extends over the whole Prättigau valley to St. Antönien and the Rätikon region. Passing several small lakes, you then reach the Stelser lake via Gafäll. This is the only place in the whole of Graubünden where the white water lily grows wild, and the highest. The lovely mountain lake is also known for its diversity of insects. Rare species of dragonfly such as the Mermaid or the Spear Azure Maiden can be observed here.
If you find yourself in need of sustenance, make a detour to the Berghaus zum See. The direct route leads through the Scurzwald forest over the Schaftobel and the mighty Grüsttobel suspension bridge. It is over 70 metres long and hovers more than 30 metres above the rugged precipices. The metal construction provides a real suspension bridge feeling. In the Tratzabeizli you can also take a break and enjoy some local dry meat and mountain cheese. You continue along the gravel road to Büelenwies, where the path turns off at Tratzastein and returns to the ski lift valley station via Planarient.
