Description

The first section leads back to the Heubützli Pass, which was already climbed on the fifth stage. From here, the view sweeps again to the Gigerwald reservoir, the Sardona glacier and the Chli glacier. The moraine walls give an idea that these glaciers were much thicker and longer just 150 years ago. We continue over the Muotatalsattelin towards the Foo Pass at 2223 m above sea level. M., where the long descent to Elm begins. If you look back at the Tschingelhörner in the evening during a cozy dinner, a hole - the mystical Martinsloch - is recognizable. Twice a year, the sun's rays hit the church of Elm through the 18-metre-high Martinsloch - an unforgettable nature experience. Alternatively, the Tschinglen-Alp is a good place to spend the night.
