The Septimer Pass has been used since as far back as the Romans and netted the Bishop of Chur a great deal of wealth. Setting off from the Julier Pass road at Bivio, the trail dives into a serene mountainous landscape. Once you arrive in the Val Bregaglia, you will notice the cultural influence of nearby Italy.
