Details

Description

The Fanellhorn allows insights into a part of the Valsertal that remains hidden to most visitors. In the southeast of the mountain lie large mountain lakes and, with the Fanell Glacier, the second largest glacier of the Valsertal. From the summit, the snow-covered peaks of the Adula massif and the rugged rocky peaks towards the Rheinwald and Misox appear close enough to touch.

Hidden Gem

Ascent variant: Up to Fanellgrätli also from the Peiltal or directly from Vals (marked mountain trail).


On the route from Vals to Peil, the Valser hiking bus operates. Information and registration: Tel. 081 935 16 49

Safety Note

Requirements: For good alpine hikers, technically an easy route (T4) that requires caution at the summit in wet, cold, snowy, or foggy conditions.


On this hike, you must expect mother cows.
