The hike leads north of Arosa through the forest and beyond the tree line over alpine meadows. It then descends more than 650 vertical metres into the valley. Imposing peaks, sweeping horse pastures and sun-baked wooden houses bring to life the times when the Walser people lived in this wild valley all year round.
