Piz Giarsinom (return)
Scenic route through the Val Zeznina to Piz Giarsinom (2664 m).
From Guarda down to the hamlet of Giarsun, the path winds upwards over the Inn via Zeznina Dadoura to Alp Zeznina Dadaint (1958 m). It continues up the valley to the next junction. Here turn left towards Murtera. The path first runs almost horizontal, then suddenly climbs almost in a direct line up the slope and shortly afterwards flattens out again heading northeast. So pay close attention to the markings. From about 2450 m the trail becomes weaker and later almost disappears in the grazing slopes. The summit is reached in a few minutes over a grassy ridge.
