Farkas the trail dog – 2

Today we even had a double take – one on the bike up to Clavadeler Alp as an easy morning run when it was still reasonably cool, and afterwards a quite strenuous but rewarding round trip hike to Chamanna da Grialetsch SAC. The inquiry about the upper hiking trail back to Flüela Pass via Fuorcla Radönt pass was, well, not as expected. The advice that the trail was a little more complex than the lower one we had hiked in on, but still easily feasible with the dog, turned out to be overly optimistic. In one section in the shadow of Piz Radönt flank we spent the better part of an hour climbing huge blocks to try and make progress but often had to turn back and find a better way. Farkas was very brave although clearly respectful of this field of big rocks that was more climbing and jumping for him than hiking.
