Val minor
This itinerary starts at the valley station of the Lagalb cable car and initially winds around Piz Lagalb.
First the path climbs for a short distance, then continues relatively flat within the Val Minor. Here marmots are not a rarity, the whistles are constantly heard or animals are seen disappearing in their holes. The flora in this valley is also beautiful and luxuriant. Further along, you will follow some lakes, until you reach the Lej Minor. On the opposite side there are still galleries, where metal ores were once extracted: in August they can be admired with guided tours. But venturing without a guide is risky and therefore prohibited. After the Fuorcla Minor you cross a steep slope, suitable for those who do not suffer from vertigo and have a sure footing. After this stretch, you can finally calmly enjoy the landscape and the view of the Piz Cambrena. Continue at a relaxed pace towards the pass road, always staying at altitude until the route descends again towards the valley station of Lagalb.
Passo Forcola di Livigno (2,315) is an alpine pass located in the western Rhaetian Alps near the Italian-Swiss border, crossed by the road that connects the Italian municipality of Livigno (in the duty-free area) and the Grisons one of Poschiavo.
