Dutjer Alp - Grossartige Aussicht

The Walser settlement of Ober Dutjen, located high above the Rhine Gorge, can be reached via a good road from Valendas. From the small car park at the end of the hamlet, follow the dirt road to a single holiday home. Here you turn left and follow the dirt road past the barbecue area to the forest. There, the path winds steeply up in a forest clearing and across a meadow until you come across a wider forest path again. Follow this up to point 1725 and turn right. The path leads over a pasture to the Sevgeiner Alp. From the alp, follow the alpine road until it meets a road coming from below. Now follow the road up to Alp da Riein. Here the view opens up into the Val Lumnezia. You hike across alpine meadows following the ridge and along the tracks to the Dutjer Alp, where the silence invites you to linger and picnic. The descent leads through a gnarled mountain forest, where some spruce trees are well over 200 years old.
The circular hike is characterised by a magnificent view over the Anterior Rhine Valley from Chur far up into the Graubünden Oberland. The Flims landslide area with the imposing Rhine Gorge lies directly at the hiker's feet!
