This hike starts from the Walser settlement of Alp Flix amid high moorland, taking you out of Parc Ela. After the former manganese mining area near Parsettens, you follow a lovely high-level path below the peak of Pizza Grossa. A gravel road descends to Savognin and back into the country's largest nature park.
