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.
