Details

Description

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

Hidden Gem

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

Safety Note

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

Equipment

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

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