Description

We start our hike at the church in Surrein, whose church tower houses one of the largest bat colonies in Switzerland in summer. After the last typical Graubünden wooden houses, we try to imagine what it was like when stately guests were transported more than a hundred years ago with palanquins or with horse-drawn carts on this way to Tenigerbad to have their illnesses cured there. The path first winds along the Rein Sumvitg and later climbs evenly. In between, we always have beautiful views into the wide and stony stream bed.  Alders, birches and firs alternate and we cross small streams that carry sediment into the valley during heavy rainfall. Further up it gets rocky and the river disappears more and more into the valley floor. After leaving the forest, we already see the top of the chapel of Val. We meet a farm where more than twenty donkeys let the sun shine on the fur. Then we have reached our goal. Val is a small, almost forgotten hamlet on the summer route to the Greina plain. We stop in the Ustria Val and enjoy a house coffee and homemade nut cake with whipped cream.  

Geheimtipp

Set it up so that you have lunch in the Ustria Val. The Capuns are legendary. Please reserve in advance.

Visit Surrein when it gets dark and watch the bats as you leave the church tower to go in search of food at night.

Sicherheitshinweis

On the way there are small debris flows that you have to cross.
