Between the Nova Stoba at the Versettla summit station and the hamlet of Ganeu above Gortipohl runs a high-level path across the Lifinar alp: a good eight kilometres without significant climbing, but with a constant view across the valley to the Rätikon. The path is wide, family-friendly and takes about 2¾ hours; down in Ganeu the Landbus takes you back – or you continue the last kilometres to Gortipohl on foot and arrive right at our door.
