Description

It is doubtful that the Walsers had time to enjoy these magnificent places at that time - but at least the new development of land opened up the possibility for the settlers to be liberated from feudal serfdom. In any case, the Obersaxener Walser are not only free today, but can also enjoy the sun terrace high above the Surselva, which was inhabited by their ancestors. For example, by mountain bike on the round to the Vorderalp, which is also very suitable for beginners. Up here there is complete peace, apart from the cowbells, which provide the background noise in the alpine summer. And the quiet noise, of course, that the stud tires emit on the numerous asphalt passages.
