Our trip began with a trip by cable car to the station Furtschellas La Chudera to a height of 2312 m above sea level. taste local specialties. We chose the path around the lakes.

We went to the platform with the ponds. The weather is not too good for us, so the peaks of Grialetsch and Furtschellas remain hidden in the clouds. But we already see the first small lake.

Pond in the rain
The water in the ponds is crystal clear, so the view of the lake is beautiful even in bad weather. If it wasn't so cold, it would almost be tempting to refresh.

The last lake

We walked slightly to see the two waterfalls we saw from a distance. Unfortunately, it was not possible to reach them because the terrain was very waterlogged.

Lunch panorama
We discovered another lake near the waterfalls. The view here was so beautiful that it was worth a lunch break.

Back to the valley view

The glacial valley with the Fedacla river, which flows from the mountain glacier to Piz Tremoggia, gives the impression of peace and quiet.
