Details
Description
We describe the route from Obersaxen Affeier. However, it can also be started from many other places along the route, for example from Meierhof, Misanenga, or Chummabüel.
From Affeier, you first hike into the magical winter forest of Pifal. It continues a bit more sun-exposed, down over the meadows to Markal below Meierhof. The route then leads to the large parking lot of the cable cars in Meierhof. Now it goes relaxed again over a small road with plenty of mountain panorama. Shortly under the Chummabial ski lift and onwards to Misanenga. Before the Crestas settlement, the path turns left to Hotel Panorama. There the kneecaps are tested on the short but steep way down. We are already back in Affeier.
Hidden Gem
In Misanenga, take a short detour to the Restaurant Rufalipark.
Safety Note
If weather conditions are uncertain, the route should not be started. Weather changes are frequent in the mountains. If a snow front or similar appears during the hike, you should turn back in time.
