Events High above the Bündner Rhine Valley - Valzeiner circular route
Beautiful, easy alpine route (T4) in the solitude of the easily accessible Valzeina valley. Along the way above the cliffs of the Chur Rhine Valley, the impressive view over the Rhine Valley and the Bündner Herrschaft remains in memory even after the hike.
Details
Description
From the village center of the Walser village Valzeina, which is easily accessible by public transport, the path leads over green slopes directly up to Tritt. Anyone who has already looked at the steep cliffs while driving through the Chur Rhine Valley will have certainly noticed the large transmission mast. This is the next corner point of the route – the path to Mittagsplatte, where the transmission mast stands, is well walkable and the view is worth it. Warmed up, you now start the more difficult section (T4) – surefootedness and being free from dizziness are prerequisites for fully enjoying the route. The narrow path runs along the ridge and offers a magnificent view over the Bündner Rhine Valley. The final ascent to Medli leads through a steep but well-secured mountain flank. The last section to the highest point is off trail. The descent initially follows a mountain hiking path which soon leads into a small road. Follow this towards Ober Clavadätsch and pass farms and alpine farms back to Valzeina, the starting point.
Hidden Gem
Take a fine souvenir from the farm shop of Maria Heinz-Walli or end the route in the village pub.
