Description

From Langwies we hike to the Sapüner Steg and from there on the old footpath through the wild Fondeier gorge, past the sunbaked wooden houses at Stutz to the beautiful alpine settlement of Strassberg. The Fondei high valley lies before us in all its splendor. Here the Walser once settled all year round. Today, this is hardly imaginable anymore.
