Post date: Aug 22, 2009 6:54:39 PM

LaPont -> car to Muragl Talstation (about 10 minutes from our B&B).

    • Frank dropped me off for a solo trip today.
    • Took 100 yr old rail car (beginning at 5600') up to Muottas Muragl (8000').
    • Began trek at 8000'. Hiked up to Laj (lake) Muragl (8950')
    • Then up to Fuorcai Murag (pass) at 9550'.
    • Descended around Piz Vadret and below the Piz Languard (stood on its summit yesterday).
    • Followed Val Pruna down to the main valley (Val Chamuere) and back to LaPunt (5650').

Total miles: 12+

  • 3.5 hours (moving time) averaging about 3.4 mph through 6000 feet of ascend/descend.
    • 1 hour rest / breaks along the way.
    • Steady-state (pace) is very comfortable. Best shape I've been in years.
