Descend steeply for 200m to the bed of Val Sagliains. The head of this valley is wildly attractive, a small cirque whose rugged headwall is formed by the curving ridges of the Plattenhörner’s Südgipfel (south summit), Piz Zadrell and Piz Sagliains, with the west flank of Piz Linard rising above the east bank of the stream.

The way now heads south down-valley on the right bank of the Aua da Sagliains, and about 1hr from the pass draws level with a footbridge which takes an alternative route up to the Fuorcla da Glims and the Linard Hut. Ignore this and continue on the right bank where the valley descends in a series of steps over sections of rough pastureland.

Trekkers enjoy a much-needed rest on the descent through Val Sagliains

Below 2000m the route is safeguarded in several rocky places with fixed cables, while the lower half of the valley is heavily vegetated – at times the path almost disappears in the undergrowth, so concentration is needed.

A tiny hut is passed at 1735m, and a few minutes beyond this you come to a trail junction at Fop Tiamarsch where the upper path heads for Susch, while we take the lower option leading to Lavin (1hr from here). This brings you to a track where you turn left and cross the river. Over this the track becomes a surfaced road, and 3mins later it forks. For Lavin keep ahead and continue as far as a right-hand hairpin bend. Leave the road and go ahead on a track. When this curves to pass beneath a railway bridge keep ahead between meadows, and shortly after arrive in Lavin.
