Hiking

This circular hike offers a beautiful natural spectacle with the turquoise Jöriseen amidst the barren mountain landscape.

You start at the Postauto bus stop Wägerhus and hike from there in a northeasterly direction steeply uphill over barren alpine meadows. The path is partly secured with ropes and takes you up to the 2,723-meter-high Jöriflüelafurgga.

From the saddle, it goes down to the impressive Jöriseen – the largest of the lakes glows even more intensely than the others thanks to the meltwater from the Jörigletscher.

Afterwards, you hike below the glacier to the Winterlücke. From here, you can enjoy another unique view of the Jöriseen and the Silvretta massif. The path winds down the slope in countless switchbacks, offering you a great view into the Flüelatal.

After a total of eleven kilometers, you are back at the starting point at the bus stop.

View of the Jöriseen from the Jöriflüelafurgga

Highlight • Viewpoint

A steep descent and ascent, with a short section secured with ropes. From here, you have the best views of the Jöriseen Lakes and the Flüela Pass. It's best to come here on the way back.

Bridge over Jöriseen outflow

Highlight • Bridge

The Jöriseen are located at an altitude of just under 2,500 meters. The largest lake is fed underground by the meltwater of the Jörigletscher. The turquoise-green color of the water is simply impressive!

Jöriseen

Highlight • Lake

When you descend from the Winterlücke, you can already see the picturesque Jöriseen below you in the valley. The largest of them is fed by glacier water – hence the milky-turquoise color. You can take a wonderful break on the shore, and if you are very brave, you can jump into the lake for a swim.

Winter gap

Highlight • Mountain Pass

From the Wägerhus hiking parking lot and bus stop, it takes you about an hour and a half to climb up to the Winterlücke. From the 2,785-meter-high pass, you have a breathtaking view of the mountain and glacier world of Graubünden – a great reward for the ascent.

Start: 🅿️ Wägerhus (free)

Pass the Wägerhus on the left, follow the mountain path to the junction 🔃
We walk the loop clockwise 🕰 steadily uphill on a well-maintained path, occasionally avoiding the cows 🐄.

We've reached the "Jöriflüela-furgga" (Jörifluela-furgga).

An absolute gem of a hike! Beautiful all over, but it is strenuous if you aren't in shape and it truly requires good quality hiking gear, especially if one wants to do it when the weather is not so cooperative. Please always go prepared only. If you do, it will be worth the effort!

August 21, 2021,Jöriseen Rundweg

Simply great hike! No matter where you look, nice! You have to bring your own food. And it's also a bit exhausting. At the weekend I won't run the tour anymore, it's a lot of activity and the motorcycle noise bothers me on the ascent.

Since we had to wait almost 1 1/2 hours for the bus, we decided from Wägerhus/Abzw. Jörisee to hike up to the Flüela Pass. This easy T2 hike takes about 45 minutes.
It is highly recommended because you constantly follow small streams and have to cross them. Sometimes it has stones so you don't have to go through the water, …

Beautiful tour, but there is still a lot of snow near and above the lakes. Above the lakes on the Jöriflüelafurgga there is a short section secured with a rope, but it is easy to do.

The "kids" didn't want to come with us on the hike this morning..
After handing over his high school diploma and a fine dinner yesterday, Leon was lost in dubious, seedy bars with his buddies 😂😂😂, this morning Lasse preferred to continue to Silvaplana for kitesurfing....
