Circular hike through the moor landscapes of St. Antönien

In the Walser village of St. Antönien at the Platz stop, you can refresh yourself before the ascent in the two hotel restaurants. Head uphill along Schwendistrasse towards Stels/Salfsch until the Michelschhofstrasse junction. Then turn left and follow the road slightly uphill to Aschüel. At Aschüel, veer slightly left towards Valpun, branching off to Stels. At the «Soppaseeli» you will find a nice barbecue area. The path then leads further over the first swamp area into the forest. Follow the Holzerweg on your left and continue briskly along the root-strewn hiking trail. Light spruce forest lined with ferns and blueberry bushes borders the path. At Grossried, you leave the cool forest and step out onto the Grossried plain. Keep right and cross the Grossried, then follow the hiking trail towards St. Antönien. Over the wooden bridges that cross the marsh back to the «Soppaseeli» and return along the same path to St. Antönien.

Anyone feeling like it (and especially those who arrived by public transport) has the opportunity to rent trottinettes at the mountain guesthouse  Michelshof and ride down to Küblis (about 1 hour) or Schiers (about 2 hours).
