If you look at the Walser settlements spread across the central Alpine arc on a map today, you will inevitably come to the conclusion that the Walsers always chose the most beautiful places for their new settlements. In contrast to today, the bike was not yet part of the Walser's inventory back then.

Description

It is doubtful that the Walser had time to enjoy these beautiful places back then - but at least the new development of land gave the settlers the opportunity to free themselves from feudal serfdom. Today, the Walser people of Obersaxen are not only free, but can also enjoy the sun terrace high above the Surselva that was settled by their ancestors. For example, by mountain bike on the route to Vorderalp, which is also very suitable for beginners. There is complete peace and quiet up here, apart from the cowbells that provide the background noise in the alpine summer. And, of course, the quiet hiss of the studded tires on the numerous asphalt passages.

Geheimtipp

Worth seeing:

Old bridge over the Schlettertobel
