The route climbs through the hilly countryside of the Safien valley between mighty Grisons mountains to the Camaner huts at 1,982 metres above sea level before descending to Safien-Platz. There are no other villages in the entire valley. As in traditional Walser settlement culture, the buildings lie scattered over the hillsides.
