Description

A circular hike for nature lovers: not only meadows and forests are explored, but also the Mülibach and the Tamina are crossed. Wooden bridges and the legendary natural bridge over the Tamina are to be hiked and admired. The rock walls of the gorge are so close together between Ragol and Valens at one point that they form a natural bridge. A hiking experience that remains unforgettable. Pure nature in the Tamina Valley.

Hidden Gem

After the hike, you can relax in the thermal pool of the Valens Clinic.

Safety Note

Part of the route runs along the motorway. Special caution is required there.

Equipment

Normal hiking equipment. Depending on the weather, good footwear (hiking boots) is recommended; otherwise, light trekking shoes are sufficient for the route.

It can get wet in the spring gorge, so we recommend appropriate clothing.
