Vertigen Chestnut Trail

The Vertigen Chestnut Loop Walk is a varied circular walk through chestnut groves, meadows and quiet rural landscapes above Partschins. Along the route, nature, traditional farming and cultural highlights come together. Especially in autumn, when the chestnut trees turn golden and the fruits are ripe, the walk is particularly attractive. Thanks to its gentle route, it is ideal for families and also suitable for buggies.
