Directions

We start our tour at the mountain station Gaffia of the Pizolbahnen. After an ascent along the Garmil Trail, we reach the summit of garmil. On this section about 1/3 of the route is drivable, as the path sometimes has larger heels and steep climbs. The descent is via the Fürggli down to the ford. Once in the ford, you have the opportunity to eat in one of the mountain restaurants. Afterwards you can either take the gondola lift of the Pizolbahnen back to Wangs, or continue by bike via Maienberg and Valeis, to Vilters.
