Details

Description

The excursion at the end of the Calfeisental offers a wide variety of experiences on a cul-de-sac with the same way there and back. There are flat, steep, tarred, gravel and challenging sections of the route before, next to and behind the Gigerwald reservoir in the middle of barren mountain massifs. The Walser settlement of St. Martin takes us back to the time of our ancestors. If you want to go even further up the Alpboden at the end of the road at Alp Sardona, we recommend an ascent on foot to the Sardona hut SAC. Over 2.5 km, an altitude of 420 m must be overcome in order to reach the finish at 2158 m above sea level. M. the seclusion at the back of the valley basin can be enjoyed.
Afterwards you take the same path to get back to Vättis.

Geheimtipp

The cosy dining room in Sankt Martin invites you to linger with a drink or a meal.

Sicherheitshinweis

Depending on the weather, it can get very slippery in some places.

A large part of the footpath is also passable for cars. Therefore, please also pay attention to other way users.
