Fuorcla Surlej

Panorama view of high mountains, some of them with glaciers. Rocks and short green grass are in the foreground. The sky is blue with multiple puffy white clouds.

We've been here before, but the Fuorcla Surlej is always worth another visit if you're in the area. It's a short out-and-back hike from the Corvatsch cable car's Murtèl middle station, but the relatively high altitude (2,755m) always keeps the walk interesting for me: 4.59 km, 143m ascent, 1h8m, 11°C ⛅️.

Tiny pink alpine flowers set against brown dirt and light gray stones. Tiny blue alpine flowers growing next to a thistle growing from a pile of gray stones.
