This week-long anti-clockwise circuit of the Silvretta Alps begins and ends at the Swiss resort of Klosters, and is the toughest of the three treks in this book, with several challenging passes that need to be crossed.

The first night is spent in Berghaus Vereina, reached by minibus taxi from Klosters Platz. The berghaus is a comfortable, privately owned inn-like hut standing at a confluence of valleys in view of the 3085m Flüela Wisshorn, and it makes a perfect introduction to the area.

Next day the route crosses the Vereina Pass (2585m) at the head of the little Süsertal, followed by descent into the untamed Val Sagliains below Piz Linard, the highest of the Silvretta peaks. The climb to the pass is not difficult under good summer conditions, but there is a fairly long and tiring descent before you reach the Lower Engadine village of Lavin.

The stage which leads to the Tuoi Hut (Chamanna Tuoi) is relatively easy, for there are no passes to confront. Instead you wander along a track to Guarda, one of the loveliest of all Swiss villages, and then strike north into Val Tuoi, at the head of which the Tuoi Hut is dwarfed by the towering walls of Piz Buin.
