Surej - Murtél - Rabgiusa - Furtschellas middle station - Surej

Distance: 17.7 km Hiking time: 4.5h Ascent: 475 m Descent: 1020 m Starting point: Valley station Corvatsch Destination: Chairlift Alp Languard

On the first day, immediately after check-in we changed into our hiking gear and we went on a discovery tour. The incredible thing about the Nira Alpina is its location, just opposite (not 50m) the Corvatsch Bahn goes up the mountain. From the middle station Murtél we hiked towards Rabgiusa. From there we started the "Wasserweg" around the six Lejins (Lakes). They sparkle in the summer sun of the Upper Engadin like dazzling sequins on a dress. The "Wasserweg" is one of the summer highlights on Corvatsch and especially suitable for families.

The lakes are enchanted by their crystal-clear and calm reflections and every lake is beautiful in itself. On the way, admired the two lakes Lejin S-chaglia and Lejin Epidot from distance and and lingered at Lejin Rhodonit and then the Lejin Malachit. The steep ascent to Lejin Magnetit was well worth it, because the Corvatsch massif is reflected in the turquoise-green water. Finally, it goes back down to the Lejin Cristal and there we rested at the Restaurant Chüdra for a refreshment. From here you can descend on the Furtschellas cable car or tackle the descent by foot. We did the latter and were rewarded with a breathtaking panorama and finally arrived in Silvaplana-Surej in the Nira Alpina after about 2:15h.
