For the "medium" hike: From Alp Languard 2'327 m (Chair Lift, 10min walk from Saratz) we do a round-tour of the beautiful Val Languard, well known for its numerous marmots and the large ibex population. We'll climb up to ca. 2'600 m, and stop by the Chamanna Paradis hut for a cake and tea as well as some great views before returning to the Alp Languard again, to take the chair lift back down to Pontresina. 5.4 km round trip, with 379 m of ascent, total of 2 hrs hiking time. Those interested can also visit the Lej Languard (small lake) slightly higher up, adding 100 m of climb, 1.8 km of distance, and 40 min of hiking time. Trail from Swiss Topo pasted below (short round trip without lake).
