Lunghin Pass (Alternative Route) Watershed at the Lunghin Pass. © Bergverlag Rother GmbHPhoto: Rudolf Weiss, Siegrun Weiss, Rother Bergverlag
: On our gentle ascent, we follow almost the entire route that was commonly used in Roman times. At the top of the pass, a plaque commemorates the hard life of the Walser people from Juf and the far end of the Aver Valley. As part of their trade with their southern neighbors, they traveled for many centuries with their livestock over the Pass da la Forcellina or our Septimer Pass/Pass da Sett—sometimes as far as Milan! They sold their livestock and used the proceeds primarily to purchase foodstuffs such as grain, rice, and wine before embarking on the arduous return journey. Piz Lunghin is recommended for fit and experienced hikers (alternative route). Even the ascent to the pass of the same name is worthwhile, as it forms an interesting watershed: the Julia/Gelgia flows into the Rhine, which flows into the North Sea; the Maira flows into the Po, which flows into the Adriatic Sea; the Inn, which rises below the pass, flows into the Danube, which empties into the Black Sea. Piz Lunghin is a magnificent summit offering panoramic views, a prime vantage point overlooking the walls of the Bergell Valley and the ice-clad three-thousand-meter peaks of the Bernina Alps.
From the bus stop in Bivio/Beiva, we hike briefly along the road toward the Julier Pass/Pass da Güglia until we reach a junction with a small dirt road, just before the valley station of a cable car. Passing the last farmhouses, we follow a wide road to a small bridge. A short while later, we marvel at the deep gorge that the water has carved out over time. Without any strenuous steep sections, the comfortable hike continues to a trail junction at 2,019 m (where the variant to Roccabella branches off), and we continue to the right toward the Septimer Pass / Pass da Sett. (The loop that branches off to the left before the next little bridge is a bit rougher; it rejoins the wide trail just before the small lake at the pass summit, 2,310 m.) From the pass summit, we enjoy the magnificent view of the massive granite boulders of the Bergell. The descent first takes us south into the Maroz Valley (Val Maroz). Shortly after the pass summit, we turn left (“Sentiero storico del Settimo”) and
