Description

From the mountain station of the chairlift, the path leads westwards below the Prui mountain restaurant. Through a sparse forest, the first 150 meters of altitude are mastered.
Leisurely uphill it then goes promising, with the mighty Lower Engadine Dolomites in view to Alp Laret. The Alp Laret, which is located in a panoramic position, is only managed during the summer seasons. Just behind Alp Laret, the descent into Val Tasna begins. Soon you can see the roofs of Alp Valmala on the other side of the valley.
Before crossing the Tasnan, it is advisable to make a detour to Alp Urezzas, especially for those interested in history. At Plan d'Agl you finally cross the Tasnan, from now on you are on Ardezer Boden. In a north-west direction, the Val d'Urschai leads to the Futschölpass, the border crossing into the neighbouring Montafon.
At the entrance of this valley, where the large boulders can be seen, there are sites that prove that this crossing was already used by hunters over 10,000 years ago. Continuing in the direction of Alp Urezzas at Plan d'Agl, a closer look reveals the outlines of an old cattle pen that stood there over 2,500 years ago. The Urezzas alpine hut is a bit more recent, it was built in 1832 and steadily expanded in the last century. The path leads steadily down the valley past Alp Valmala. In the summer months you can buy goat cheese or a small refreshment here.
The further path leads along the Tasnan, whose water is now also used for electricity production, comfortably down to Ardez.
