Avinga Valley - S-charl Joch

Tour by Reto Wiesler. Hike along the alpine pasture path to the old track, turn left there (Mark. 1), cross the Valgarola stream on a bridge and follow the hiking trail and the signs to S-charl Joch. Through sparse forest and open meadows, the trail goes left of the stream, and thus away from the toboggan run, in a gentle climb up to the Mangitzeralm. (If you start from the car park in the valley, hike briefly into the valley to the first bridge). Now a wonderful high valley opens up in a northerly direction and you continue over gentle alpine meadows to the Mitteralm. You hike through a quiet, deserted valley directly on the valley floor and continue up to the Pravierter Hütte and the Jöchelhütte. You will soon have reached your destination: One last steep section and you are at the border to Switzerland, on the S-charl Joch. (border stone, large cross). Descent from the S-charl Joch: same as ascent.
