Via Spluga from Passo dello Spluga to Montespluga (Percorso C15)

We park on the outskirts of Montespluga at Lago di Montespluga, on the free parking lot. The steep ascent is initially via a pleasant mountain path and in the upper third through rough boulders. Once at the top we look at Lago Azzurro, where we can take a longer break. The trail follows the western shore, where you meet the Italy - Switzerland border at the end of the lake. We climb even further over blocky terrain to a nameless mountain lake. Back at the junction, it goes steeply over boulders down to the mountain lake with its crystal-clear water. The further descent is again more pleasant via a steep serpentine path to the Splügen Pass. From the pass, the Via Spluga leads down to the starting point.
