Directions

Your hike starts at the Auerhof farm inn in Walten. First, cross the stream and then turn left onto trail no. 12, following the valley towards Wans.

Follow the forest road at a leisurely pace, initially along the edge of the forest and then through dense coniferous woodland.

Always stay on marked trails, check the current weather and snow conditions before setting off, and take particular care on icy, slippery or snow-covered sections.

Take enough water and food with you and plan your hike so that you return before it gets dark.
