Description

The Fanellhorn allows views down into part of the Vals Valley, which remains hidden to most visitors. In the south-east of the mountain there are large mountain lakes and the second largest glacier in the Vals Valley with the Fanell glacier. The snow-covered mountains of the Adula massif and the rugged rocky peaks in the Rheinwald and Misox seem close enough to touch from the summit.
