Description

Without having to overcome great altitude differences, this route leads from Valens far into the Tamina valley. Over bridges, through meadows and forests as well as along the impressive Mapragg reservoir, this hike leads to Vättis. It is pleasant to walk on natural hiking trails in bright forests, while the Tamina is allowed to follow its wild and original river course next to them. Accompanied by a magnificent view, this hike is a pleasure.

Since some sections of the route lie on the motorway, special caution is required.
