(3691'; *Kurhaus Klosters-Dorfli, pens. 5'/2-9 fr.), Am Platz, and
Bei der Briicke. Am Platz (3966') contains the church. (On this side

Beyond the bridge : *H6t.-Pens. Florin, 5 fr.; "Kurhaus Klosters, or

Excursions. (Guides: Chr. and W. Jann, L. Outer, and Ant. Schlegel.)
To the Silvretta Club Hut (5 hrs.; guide 7 fr.), see below. From the
hut to the fall of the Silvretta Glacier, l1/* hr. there and back, very fine
(suitable for ladies also). — The Canardhorn (8566'; 3'/2 hrs. from Novai,
see below; 7 fr.) and the Aelpeltispitz (8825'; 4>/2 hrs.; 7 fr.), ascended
through the Schlappinthal, are fine points, free from difficulty. Casanna
(8405'; 3'/2-4 hrs.; guide 7 fr.); the last part requires a steady head. Pischa-
horn (9786'; 5 hrs.; 7 fr.), through the Mbnchalpthal, not difficult. More
laborious are the Ungeheuerhorn (9843'; 4 hrs. from Fremdvereina, see
below, and through the Siiserthal; 20 fr.) and the Plattenhorner (highest
peak 10,587'; 5 hrs. from Fremdvereina; 22 fr.). — The Silvrettahorn
(10,656'), 4 hrs. from the club-hut (see below), and the -Piz Buin (10,870">,
4'/2-5 hrs. from the hut, present no danger to experts. More difficult arc
the Klein-Buin (10,709'), Verstanklahorn (10,833'), Seehbrner (Gross-Litzner,
10,200'; Gross-Seehorn, 10,250'), and Madrishorn (9344').
From Klosters to the Lowee Engadine several passes cross the
Silvretta chain, all requiring guides. Easiest the Vereina Pass (9-10 hrs.
from Klosters to Siis ; guide 12 fr.). A narrow road ascends the right bank
of the Landquart, which is formed by the confluence of the Sardasca and
Vereina, IV2 hr. above Klosters, and leads by Monbiel to (D/2 hr.) the
Novai Alp (7769'), on the left bank of the Sardasca. We now follow a
bridle-path to the right, and ascend the Vereina Valley, passing the
Stutzalp (6158') and the mouth of the Vernela Valley (see below), to the
(2 hrs.) Alp Fremdvereina (6437'), where the valley divides into the JSri-
thal to the right and the Siiser-Thal to the left. We ascend the latter
to the (2'/2 hrs.) pass of Val Torta, or Vereina Pass (8725'), traverse the
snow to the left of the Hdrnli, and descend rapidly by a rough path
through the Val Sagliains to (3 hrs.) Siis (p. 374). Or, at the upper end
of the Siiser Thai, we may turn to the right to the Fless Pass (8133') and
descend thence through the Val Fless to the Svsasca Valley and the
Fluela road (p. 327) 3 M. above Siis. A third route, the finest of all, leads
through the Jb'rilhal (see above), with the seven Joriseen and the extensive
Jori Glacier overshadowed by the Weisshorn (10,132'), and across the Jori-
Fless Pass (8422') to the Val Fless and the Fluela road.
More difficult is the Vernela Pass (10-11 hrs. to Lavin; guide 12 fr.).
The path ascends the Vernela Valley (see above), passing the Vereina Alp
(to the left, above which is the cavern of Baretta-Balma) to the Filler
Gletscher; then a toilsome ascent on the ice to the (6-7 hrs.) pass (Laviner
Joch or Fuorcla Zadrell, 9131'). Steep descent into the Val Lavinuoz, to
Marangun, the highest Alp, and below the precipices of the Piz Linard by
the Alp da Mezz and Alp da Doura to Lavin (p. 374).
Over the Silvretta Pass (9928') to Guarda (11-12 hrs.; guide 16fr.), a
long glacier route, without difficulty for experts. Road to Novai (see above;
shorter path on the right bank by Pardenn and Gafiun) and through the
Sardasca Valley to the chalets of Spdrra and (3 hrs.) Sardasca (5364');
then a path In the (2 hrs.) well-kept Silrrella Club Hut (about 7480') on
the Medjr.-Kopf (8225'), close to the Silrrella Glacier. Wc then ascend the
crevassed glacier to the (3 hrs.) pass, lo the W. of the Signal/torn (10,521'),
skirt the Kleine Pi; Buin (IO,709'l, and finally descend the steep and
troublesome Plan-Rai glacier and through the Val Tuoi to (3'/2-4 hrs.)
Guarda (p. 375). — From Klosters to Guarda over the Verstanklathor or
the Tialscha Pass (Fuorcla del Confin), 12 hrs., two very trying routes, for
adepts only.
