Description

At the lighthouse, the path leads slightly downhill along the pass road. After about 600 meters we cross the road, after which the path becomes wider. They are now on the former railway line of the Matterhorn Gotthard Railway, which used to run openly around the flank of Piz Calmot. Today, however, most of the railway disappears into a tunnel, a little later into a half-open gallery. If it suddenly buzzes and rumbles: don't be frightened. There is a train on the way. Where the train leaves the tunnel again, you cross a viaduct over a rushing mountain stream. You zigzag along a meadow path to Tschamut, the first village on the young Rhine.

We switch to the other side of the Rhine.  On a wide and comfortable path, through forest and pastures, we reach the "Fontauna" playground, below Rueras. You cross the Anterior Rhine, walk past the Rueras campsite, up to the village. Here you cross the main road and walk properly to Sedrun station.

Sicherheitshinweis

Caution is advised when crossing the pass road.

In uncertain weather conditions, the tour should not be started. Weather changes in the mountains are frequent. If a rain front or similar comes up during the hike, you should turn back in time.
