Piz Nair

Previously we had done lower level alpine traverses in Italy, Germany and Switzerland. This time we went to the top as far as the transport would take us. The hotel gave us travel tickets to go anywhere we wanted during the stay. OK then. First we took a cable car straight up from the Hotel. Walked across a bit to catch an alpine train which was steep. After that another cable car which took us to Piz Nair summit.  It was a bit cool but the sun was out and we started the long descent. Scenic is not the word.  We descended with many many stops. We had a champagne lunch at the head of Lake Suvretta. We saved one of the rolls and the third picolo for ron. The wild flowers came into it as well as we got further down. A satisfying day taking 7 hrs.  We looped back to the first cable car we had used at Signal Station. This took us down the last part to our Hotel.
