Description
From Chapel Zerfreila the varied trail leads eastwards up to Guraletsch Lake with the impressive pyramid of the Fanellhorn in the background. Passing Finsterbachstafel and with views of the idyllic slopes of Alp Guraletsch, the maximum altitude above sea level is already reached in the first section of the trail. Subsequently, the dynamic hiking trail crosses the western ridge of Guraletschhorn, in whose cirque Ampervreil Lake is located. The following stage resembles the previous one but offers increasingly spectacular views of the village more than a thousand meters below in the shadow of Ampervreilhorn. Shortly thereafter, Selva Lake and thus the ensuing descent into the Peil valley is reached. For the especially enduring, a detour to Hohbüel near the lake is always worthwhile. The trail now descends evenly to Heinisch Stafel and then branches right to the Stafel of Alp Selva. The gravel road that starts here winds down the steep slope in numerous hairpin turns and only becomes flatter at the junction before Bodahus. From here, always heading valleywards, the route gently descends past the "Peilerchappeli" to the finish at Inder Peil.
Hidden Gem
Take a break at the Peil kiosk and enjoy a fine fresh goat cheese from the Peil Geissalp.
