  • Wanderwoche Im Grenzland BERGELL/VAL BREGAGLIA Vom 8
    AVS Meran - Wanderwoche im Grenzland BERGELL/VAL BREGAGLIA vom 8. bis 14. Juli 2018 Blick auf die Sciora-Gruppe mit Piz Cengalo und Piz Badile Unterwegs auf Saumpfaden und historischen Talwegen zwischen Maloja und Chiavenna Die Wanderwoche 2018 führt ins Bergell / Val Bregaglia, einem ca. 30 km langen Tal, das vom schweizerischen Maloja-Pass (Graubünden) in die italienische Kleinstadt Chiavenna in der Provinz Sondrio reicht. Daher kann man in hochalpinen Landschaften und in Gebieten mit fast mediterraner Vegetation wandern, schweizerische Präzision und südländische Gelassenheit erleben. Das Tal liegt etwas abseits der großen Touristenströme und hat noch viel von seiner Ursprünglichkeit bewahrt. Es bietet anspruchsvolle Touren im steilen Gelände und gemütliche Wanderungen an Hängen und im Talboden. Zudem gibt es kulturelle Angebote wie Museen und Ausstellungen, weil hier namhafte Künstler wie Giovanni Segantini oder Alberto Giacometti gelebt und gewirkt haben. Die ausgewählten Wanderungen stellen keine besonderen Herausforderungen dar, sie erfordern aber eine gute Kondition und Trittsicherheit. An zwei Tagen gibt es die Alternative zwischen einer anspruchsvolleren und einer leichteren Tour. Außerdem gibt es immer noch die Möglichkeit, in oder von Chiavenna aus kleine Wanderungen oder Spaziergänge zu machen, falls jemand einen Tag zum Ausspannen braucht. Anfahrt und Unterkunft Abfahrt mit Bus am Sonntag, 8. Juli um 07:00 Uhr vom Prader-Platz in Meran über St. Moritz und Maloja-Pass nach Chiavenna. Zuweisung der Zimmer und Mittagessen im Hotel San Lorenzo in Chiavenna. Hotel Flora und Hotel San Lorenzo in Chiavenna www.sanlorenzochiavenna.it Touren und Wanderungen Wir werden fünf Touren unternehmen mit einer Gehzeit von vier bis sechs Stunden. Dazu kommt eine kurze Eingehtour am Ankunftstag.
