Abfahrt

Anyone who looks for the Walser settlements spread over the central Alpine arc on the map today inevitably comes to the conclusion that the Walser have always chosen the most beautiful places for their new settlements. In contrast to today, the bike was not yet part of the Walser inventory at that time.

Description

It is doubtful that the Walsers had time to enjoy these wonderful places at that time - but at least the new development of land opened up the possibility for the settlers to free themselves from feudal serfdom. In any case, the people of Obersaxen are not only free today, but can also enjoy the sun terrace high above the Surselva, which was settled by their ancestors. For example, by mountain bike on the round to Vorderalp, which is also very suitable for beginners. Up here, there is complete silence, apart from the cowbells, which provide the background noise in the alpine summer. And of course the quiet noise that the knobby tires emit on the numerous asphalt passages.

Geheimtipp

Worth seeing:

  • Old bridge over the Schlettertobel
  • Panorama
  • Walserweiler

Refreshment stops: Meierhof, St. Martin, Miraniga
