Description

From Langwies, the hike ascends the forest road through the woods. Before the path winds into the narrowing valley, it's worth a look back over Langwies and the Schanfigg. The valley soon becomes narrower and wilder, the path leads deeper inside through galleries. Once you leave the galleries, the valley opens and you see the many Walser houses scattered throughout the valley. Now the path rises again slightly and leads towards Strassberg. Shortly before the village, a path branches off to the Casanna ski lodge. If you continue on the main path, you reach the mountain inn Strassberg shortly before the Walser settlement.

Hidden Gem

Once arrived in the high valley, you should treat yourself to a special delicacy on one of the mountain inn terraces. The ascent has definitely been worth it with a treat in the sun overlooking the Fondei.
