Start at the base station Sfazu, and from there take a bus to the top station, Alp Camp. Begin hiking from the stop Longacqua, where you will enter into the most beautiful section of the whole Val Viola, deep inside the forest. Along the way you will see many different lakes, each special for the color of the water. Continue until reaching Val Viola Lake, the biggest lake of the valley.

If you love to hike, continue along the path until you reach the top, the Val Viola Pass (2,460 m/8,070 ft). From there, you can see from one side of the valley (Italian Val Viola) to the other side, and view the whole Swiss Val Viola and val di Campo.

Getting there: Coming from Poschiavo, there is a small street on the right side, by the bus station Sfazu, that will take you to Val Viola.
