Glarina-Trail 417

The Outdoor Fitness Trails in the Heidiland holiday region comprise over 30 uniformly signposted running trails from a total of 10 stations, forming one of the largest open-air fitness parks in the Alpine region. The Glarina Trail is one of three running trails around Valens station.

The starting point for this 6.7 km long trail is the info point of the Valens station at the Postbus station of the Valens Clinic (915 m above sea level.M). All three trails lead first past the school, mini golf course, church and shop, up to the road that leads to Vasön. On this road you leave the village behind and on a wooden sidewalk you go in the direction of Tschennerbrücke (933). After crossing the imposing, almost 150 meters long and about 100 meters high bridge, the trail leads during a gentle incline through a forest past the hamlet of Tschenner (950). From here you continue on the little-used road to the idyllic village of Vasön (928) with its beautifully decorated gardens and wooden houses. Shortly after leaving the village, the trail turns left onto the hiking trail, which leads through mixed forests and past meadows and pastures down towards Neugüetli (800). The longer the descent takes, the narrower and less well developed the trail will be. At the bottom of the valley, the short - but violent ascent to the Glarina plain (870) begins. Once there, you will be rewarded with a beautiful view of Valens and the surrounding mountains. The last section back to the village leads first over a meadow and then on the wide and well-developed agricultural road past the village church back to the info point.
