Swiss National Park - Route IV; Mingèr Dadaint Alp

The route starts from the parking place at the junction of the Mingèr with the Clemgia on the road from Scuol to S-charl. After crossing the Clemgia the path leads southwest through tall spruce forest to Mingèr Dadora, past a sandstone crag known as the Hexenkopf ("Witches Head") and on to the Alpine meadow of Mingèr Dadaint (2,090 m/6,855ft): good opportunities for observing red deer and marmots. At the head of the valley are the precipitous peaks of Piz Plavna Dadaint (3,166 m/10,388ft). Return by the same route, or alternatively continue west to Il Foss and then via Alp Plavna to Tarasp. This half-day outing lasts about 3.5 hours.
