Avers Valley

The main road runs past the turning for the Lago di Lei dam along the Avers valley, whose German- speaking population originally came from the Valais (Wallis) and adopted the Reformed faith as early as 1530. After passing through the hamlet of Campsut (1,670 m/5,479ft) the road comes to Cröt (1,720 m/5,643ft: inn), at the mouth of the Madriser Tal, with the Cima di Lago (3,082 m/10,112ft) and Piz Gallgione (3,135 m/10,286ft) rearing up in the background. It then climbs the wooded hillside in sharp bends, crosses the Rhine once again and after a number of other sharp bends reaches the highest part of the valley.
