A tough ascent and descent (from Filisur to Savognin). Impressive scenery.

The Alpbeizli is located near the Somtgant cable car station in Savognin and offers homemade cakes and light meals. Next door, the Tgamon hut, located at 2200 m, is an old barn with a glass roof that allows you to observe the starry sky and local wildlife, such as marmots and deer. The guesthouse offers a room with a double bed, pillows and wool blankets, but no shower. You can book activities with the shepherd in the morning, such as visiting the cows. Open from the end of June to mid-October. Payment is cash only.

Alp Somtgant, Savognin A haystack with a view of the stars through the glass roof: This is the Tgamon on Alp Somtgant above Savognin. The expanded hay barn is located at 2200 m above sea level. M. and offers a unique view over the valley and the Piz Mitgel, Orgelspass, Ela and Piz D’Err mountain ranges. In the evenings you can watch marmots with a glass of wine and chirping crickets and, with a bit of luck, you can even see deer grazing below the alp. Hay used to be stored in the Tgamon. In order to be able to make hay early in the morning, the Tgamon served as temporary accommodation for the farmers.

It's easy to walk up here - and enjoy a great view from above! The paths are supply paths for the lift station located above (out of service in summer), so the path is easy to walk.
