Hey all!

Let's enjoy a beautiful fall color hike in Engadin! I hear there are larches and beautiful high alpine views.

For more info about the hike, and pictures, I got it from here: https://stunninghikes.com/southeastswitzerland/graubunden/furcletta/

I've never been.

Route: T2-3.  Top bit might be technical, small loose rocks, and might have some snow.

Pace: Solid pace, about 450-500 vertical meters / hour.  Total I expect the hike to take 7-8 hours.

Meeting point:  Guarda - 10:09.  Train from Zurich HB departs at 7:09.

I set the route as "carpool" in case anyone has a car, however I do not.  I plan to take the train, SBB currently has the "Day Pass for 2" for 78 CHF, as long as one person has a HalfTax.

Weather: Right now the weather looks good.  If it switches to terrible, I will plan a completely different hike (and will update here and in WhatsApp).

Snow: This hike goes up to 2740m.  There might be snow above 2500m (according to swisstopo).  I don't think it will be too bad.  There are no webcams on the trail, but I checked some others in the area and didn't see any snow up to 2700m.  However, be sure you are comfortable with a bit of snow, and if it does happen to be super sketchy, maybe I'll turn the hike back instead (we can still make a different loop, and it will still be fun).

What to bring: Enough food and water for a 7-8 hour hike. Good shoes, water, food, layers (it can get cold higher up) and anything else you might need.
