We decided to spend the night in Splügen at the Hotel Piz Tambo before starting our adventure.

The village of Splügen was in fact rather easy for us to travel to, and we wanted to avoid spending too much energy for this long trip on our first hiking day.

The morning after, before heading to the trail start, we stopped at the bakery and at the supermarket in Splügen, where we resupplied for food and water.

We then hopped on a bus to San Bernardino (Villaggio), where we changed bus to finally reach the trail start, at San Bernardino (Ospizio).
