Details

Description

The two-day hut route starts at the Gigerwald bus stop, dam. After a short walk along Lake Gigerwald, you reach the former Walser village Sankt Martin. The hike initially follows the Tamina River. After a while, you pass the Sardona Alp, which has a small menu during the alpine season. Then continue to the Sardona Hut, located just below the Sardona Glacier. It serves as your accommodation until you start the second stage of the hike the next day.


On the second day, unique rock formations of the UNESCO World Heritage Site Tectonic Arena Sardona await you. The hike passes Platten and Heitelsee, which are excellent for a rest break. The ridges and mountain peaks on your way down to Sankt Martin are ibex territory. But even if you don't see an ibex, the hike with the mountain backdrop from Ringel, Sardona to Gigerwaldspitz is a real eye-catcher.

Hidden Gem

With some luck, you can spot bearded vultures in the wild on the circular hike, which have been reintroduced in this area.

Equipment

Sturdy and well-broken-in footwear and a change of clothes for possible weather changes.
