Part 1: S-Chanf - Samedan

Plan to do 55km besides the river Inn at Easter.

Our Easter plans: we aim to walk 55 km through the upper part of our valley along the river Inn (which goes to Innsbruck) in 3 days over Easter. Today we did the first stretch from S-Chanf to Samedan. 5 hours of walking through a few small villages and always slightly upwards towards the sun.

Amazing how the originally straight river bed of the river Inn gets converted into a habitat for thousands of species with multiple streams and small lakes. The Auen in Samedan, Bever/La Punt-Chamues-Ch and Zuoz are beautiful and already full of life. I am really looking forward to dipping into the water and BBQ on long summer evenings.

Coming home felt like on a mountain summer evening, in t-shirt only and with a glowing face (despite the sun cream I did apply plentiful).

Local Angus Beef with peppers and aubergines in the oven and Tignanello 2007 for dinner - heaven. Tomorrow will be Zernez - S-Chanf.

Proverbis da l’Engiadina e da la val Müstair:

Cun la pazienzch’ as vaja a tschel .
Mit Geduld geht man zum Himmel.
Interpretaziun: Geduld überwindet alles.
With patience you will reach the sky
