クイントの絶景の山頂・トップ20

We - over-60s with good mountain skills - descended from the Cabanna Cadlimo through the Val Cadlimo to the Lukmanier Pass. The common description that the route is mostly on easy-to-walk paths is a dangerous understatement. It goes over long stretches over boulder fields, which require very good surefootedness and balance. Then down over some smooth rock ledges, which are secured with chains. So it's not all that easy!

Lukmanier Pass When the Disentis monastery was founded around 720, the Lukmanier Pass, which could be crossed without great difficulty and was also considerably lower than the other passes in the Alps, became very important. During the Staufer period, it was considered the most important north-south connection to Italy. However, it quickly lost this role to the Gotthard and Splügen passes. In 1374, the Disentis monastery built the "Hospezi S. Maria" with a chapel on the top of the pass. Both had to make way for the construction of the reservoir in 1964. The new hospice at the current location was inaugurated on August 1, 1965 and the chapel in 1967. The Lukmanier Pass played an important role in the choice of the route of an Alpine railway at times, because the planners assumed that it would be possible to build it without an expensive summit tunnel. In 1869, however, the decision was made in favor of the Gotthard railway. Between 1872 and 1877, a modern road was built over the Lukmanier. With the construction of the "Lai da Sontga Maria" reservoir in the 1960s, the road on the Graubünden side had to be relocated to a gallery. The importance of a supra-regional transport axis ended with the opening of the motorway tunnel through the Gotthard. Tourism in the Surselva began to suffer greatly as a result, especially as the pass was closed during the winter from 1980 onwards. On the initiative of the municipality of Disentis and the Surselva mountain railways in particular, the "Pro Lucmagn" association was founded, which has been responsible for ensuring that the Lukmanier pass remains open for as long as possible in winter since 2005. The canton, district, municipalities and tourism in both Graubünden and Ticino provide the finances. The five-year trial phase was positive. This project has been secured for the long term since 2011. Clearly to the benefit of tourism in the Surselva as well as in the Blenio Valley.

Nice corner for hiking and resting. Circular routes are possible. Being sure-footed and not afraid of heights would be an advantage.

We were looked after by a friendly house team!

Friendly hosts and good food. They are connected to the grid and even have e-bike chargers available on request (2x Bosch, 1x Shimano).

Ideal on a multi-day bike tour

Visited by mountain hikers from all directions. The hut is located on the Four Sources Path, on the main continental watershed between the Rhine and Ticino/Po, in a landscape characterized by mountain lakes. Ibex like to show up on the ridges around Cadlimo. Easy ridge and summit ascents, circular tours, transitions, a small climbing garden and swimming in one of the lakes around the Cadlimohütte complete the mountain experience.

Were today for the first time at the Badushütte. Nice hospitality and a mega plus point, you can now also pay by card. Since 2019 there have been new toilets including a washroom.
