Description

We start the hike at the lighthouse on the Oberalp Pass. On the first section, up to the junction at point 2056, we are on the way with the Tomasee migratory birds, after those who strive towards the Maighelshütte. Below the hut, however, we turn right to the Lolen Pass, which is called Pass Tagliola in Rhaeto-Romanic. 

The Lolenpass is a pleasure. The valley slopes gently to the west. The stream, which at first is just a trickle, receives more and more water and forms mossy areas and small small souls. We reach the first valley stage and leave the stream to descend in an arc to an alp. From the second valley step, a zigzag path leads down to the Unteralptal. We are sent back and forth 48 times until we reach the valley floor.

On a road we continue our hike in the direction of Vermigelhütte. However, we save ourselves the ascent to the hut and switch to the hiking trail to the Maighelspass beforehand. It's uphill again. We overcome the approximately 500 meters of altitude at a leisurely pace. On hot days, a swim in the lake, in front of the Maighelspass, beckons as a reward. 

At Piogn Crap we treat ourselves to a little thrill. There we can cross the wild Rein da Maighels with one step, because the water squeezes through a narrow crevice. In front of us we see the Maighelshütte and we are happy to accept a five-minute ascent to enjoy a beer on the terrace. From the hut we hike back to the Oberalp Pass.

Geheimtipp

At Piogn Crap, cross the Rein da Maighels with one step, which squeezes through a deep crevice.

Directions

From the Oberalp Pass we follow the white/red hiking trail towards The Tomasee-Rheinquelle, which first leads a few hundred meters along the pass route down the valley. A high-altitude trail now leads into Val Maighels. At the junction at point 2056, we continue in a southerly direction. We meet a road that leads to the Maighelshütte. Below the hut, however, we leave this road and choose the hiking trail in a southwesterly direction to the Lolen Pass. We stay on this way to the Unteralptal. Once we have reached another road, we turn uphill until we reach the junction to the Maighel Pass. Now we are back on a hiking trail that leads us on the left side of the valley past the Vermigelhütte. On the Maighelspass we descend into the Val Maighels and follow the path always out of the valley. Back at the small lakes, we follow the road further down the valley.  At the junction, which we know from the morning, we turn left on the hiking trail back to the Oberalp Pass.
