Hike through moor landscapes from St. Antönien to Stels

In the Walser village of St. Antönien at the Platz bus stop, you can refresh yourself before the ascent in the two hotel restaurants. Head uphill from here towards Stels/Salfsch along Schwendistrasse until the Michelschhofstrasse junction. Then follow the road slightly uphill to the left towards Aschüel. At Aschüel, veer slightly left towards Valpun, then off towards Stels. Beautiful meadow path and a first swamp area (walk in the middle of the boardwalk; the boards are mostly loosely laid).

Continue towards "Stels". Loose forest with fern plants, berry bushes, and in between beautiful reed beds that glow golden in autumn. The path is well marked with posts and signs. The first mountain peaks appear in the background. Balancing over the boards and the many roots in the forest requires appropriate attention. At the forest exit at the top, enjoy the panorama from the Schesaplana to the Austrian mountains! The path leads gently uphill to the gravel road towards Alp Valpun. Continue hiking along this road to point 1826. Here a soft meadow ridge path leads down to the first houses of the Stelserberg. A detour to the left to Stelsersee (2 minutes) is always worth it. The water lilies bloom higher at Stelsersee than anywhere else in Europe.

Back at the gravel path, continue past the mountain guesthouse by the lake. To reach the "Mottis" bus stops, take the direct route along the paved road.
