Julier pass

(Local Name: Passo dal Guglia) Beyond the Bivio a road climbs to the Julier pass, 2,284 m/7,494ft), with the stumps of two columns which probably belonged to a Roman shrine on the pass. To the right, is a small lake. The road now descends the rocky valley of the Ova, past Piz Julier (3,385 m/11,106ft), on the left, to a lookout with a magnificent view of the Bernina massif (4,049 m/13,285ft). It then continues down to Silvaplana, where it enters the Engadine.
