Description

The descent from the sunny mountain village of Valens into the gorge is an experience. Through quiet forests, the path leads downwards. Overhanging rock faces, the sound of the Tamina and birdsong greet the hikers who have arrived below. It is worth visiting the only baroque spa building in Switzerland, the Alte Bad Pfäfers, and holding your hand in the warm spring. Back we go the same way, again towards the sunshine.

Geheimtipp

The restaurant on the ground floor of the Altes Bad invites you to linger with a drink or a meal.

Sicherheitshinweis

Depending on the weather, it can be very slippery in the gorge.

Ausrüstung

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