Description

Like many other mountain valleys, the Safiental also has a rich and diverse treasure of legends and stories. Legends are not just fairy tales. Although these orally transmitted stories sometimes also appear in other valleys, they always have a direct connection to the landscape and therefore a special significance.

Ten illustrated panels point to the legends at the place of the events. Anyone who looks around a bit will then understand why, for example, there are so many stones in the Bächer Forest or can imagine the Wättermannli on Camana very well.

Hidden Gem

There are two different but important companions for the legend trail.

For reading: You use the little legend book as a companion on the legend trail and read the legends in the Walser dialect or in written language. The respective illustrations for the legends can also be colored in by children themselves.

The little legend book costs CHF 10.–. You can get it at the following sales points:

- Spensa, Safien Platz

- Village shop, Safien Platz

- Mountain guesthouse Turrahus, Thalkirch/Turrahus

- Inn Rössli, Versam

- Village shop, Versam > Mountain hotel Alpenblick, Tenna

- or via Safiental Tourism, Tel. +41 (0)81 630 60 16, info(at)safiental.ch

For listening: Have the legends told to you on the way via the corresponding link you find on site. You can also download them via the free Actionbound app and play them on the legend trail independent of mobile reception.
