Description

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

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