      It is extremely exciting and frightening to see how fast the glacier melts and pulls back more and more.

        A very recommendable walk on a wide path (in winter combined with an LL-trail) in a beautiful area with a unique mountain panorama (Morteratsch, Biancograt, Bernina, Zupo, Bellavista, Palü etc.). Boards show the current state of the glacier tongue since 1900 and document the shrinking of the glacier.
