    Take the train to Preda and climb up to the crystal-clear Palpuognasee. The path continues uphill along the lake shore, first along the pass road, then turning right to the green-blue lakes of Crap Alv Lajets and further up to the Fuorcla Crap Alv. Enjoy the view into Val Bever and of the distinctive Piz Ot. The descent down into Val Bever is steep, where you reach the alp road. A certain surefootedness is required for the descent. The final part leads comfortably to Bever.

    If you still haven't had enough, we recommend the rear Val Bever, where the landscape and especially the Beverin river can be seen in its wild, unspoilt state. Against this backdrop, it has been awarded the ‘Gewässerperle PLUS’ label since summer 2021.

    Gewässerperle PLUS – a natural gem of national importance

    The Beverin is the first river in Switzerland to be awarded the ‘Gewässerperle PLUS’ label. The 13.5-kilometre-long mountain stream received this special honour because it has remained largely untouched by humans – a true wild stream without artificial corrections. From its source near Piz d'Err to just before Bever, the Beverin meanders freely through the picturesque Val Bever, surrounded by valuable fens and floodplain landscapes. This unspoilt mountain water world provides an ideal habitat for many rare animal and plant species, including otters, brown trout, stoneflies and numerous willow species. The label recognises not only the ecological value of the Beverin, but also the commitment of the municipality of Bever to preserving this unique natural paradise.
