Details

Description

We start the hike at the Palfries mountain station. With the Palfriesbahn, we previously climbed around 1,250 metres in altitude in just 12 minutes. The train takes us over an imposing waterfall (Ragnatscher Bach) and takes us up to the Palfries plateau.

From the mountain station, the hike leads to the Palfries mountain inn, where after the car park it continues uphill towards Alvier. "In de Stei" the mountain path branches off to the left and leads us via "Mürli" to Alp Malun. From there it goes over pastures and unpaved roads to the Hotel Kurhaus Sennis.

For the half-hour return journey to the valley station of the cable car, the shuttle bus is available. Departure is at 4.00 p.m. or from the end of September at 3.00 p.m. The ride must be reserved in advance (cable car valley station or directly at the Hotel Kurhaus Sennis).

Hidden Gem

The Swiss family Feuerstelle at the soul of the Hotel Kurhaus Sennis invites us to linger.

Equipment

Daytime hiking backpack (approx. 20 litres) with rain cover, sturdy and comfortable footwear, weather-adapted and durable clothing in the multi-layer principle, if necessary telescopic poles, sun and rain protection, provisions and drinking water, first aid kit, pocket knife, mobile phone, possibly headlamp, map material

Directions

From the mountain station we hike over a length of 500 meters on the asphalted alpine road to the mountain inn Palfries. Immediately after the gravel parking lot, we take the mountain path to the right towards Alvier. After about half an hour you reach "in de Stei" where you continue to the left. A wonderful mountain spring with the most diverse and beautiful alpine flowers can be experienced on the way to the "Mürli" and on towards Alp Malun. The path leads us over alpine pastures and through wetlands. The alp is accessible via a dirt road from our hiking destination. We follow this for about 400 meters and then we turn left again into a hiking trail.

In the "sponge" we reach the Alperschließungsstraße again and follow it to the Hotel Kurhaus Sennis.
