Description
You'll be guided by a knowledgeable and trained local through snow-covered forests and open alpine meadows. Along the way, they'll share fascinating stories about the nature, wildlife, and history of this former Walser valley. You might spot deer, foxes, or water ouzels during the journey.
During the tour, you'll explore the historic mountain village of Weisstannen, sitting over 1000 m above sea level. The route passes roaring mountain streams and old alpine farms. You'll also enjoy impressive views of the Foostock, part of the UNESCO World Natural Heritage Tektonikarena Sardona.
To finish, you can relax with a well-earned break (consumption not included) at a stylish, centuries-old inn featuring Belle Époque and Biedermeier ambience.
This is an easy, flat hike with little elevation gain. It requires some stamina and surefootedness. The actual walking time is about three hours.
