Chamanna Cluozza – Vallun Chafuol

After the Chamanna Cluozza, the ascent to the Murtersattel begins. Zigzag through pine forests to the grassy slopes where ibex often graze and marmots sun themselves. From here you can also see the famous rock plate with the dinosaur tracks. Now the trail slowly climbs uphill. On the other side of the valley you can see the Piz Quattervals and look deep into the Val Sassa with the block glacier. At the Murtersattel, the descent begins to the plateau of Plan dals Poms and continues through forest sections towards the small clearing Plan Praspöl. After a few steps you reach the bridge in the Spölschlucht gorge. A last, steep ascent of about 120 metres in altitude leads to the car park and the «Vallun Chafuol» post bus stop on the Ofenpass road. From here you can take the PostBus to Il Fuorn or the Ofenpasshöhe at hourly intervals. Or continue individually on foot via Grimmels to il Fuorn (approx. 2.5 h) and by PostBus to the Ofenpasshöhe (Süsom Givè).
