  • Directions

    From the end of the car park at the chairlift in Kühboden (1150 m), the Walserweg leads through the hamlet of Rain slightly downhill to the Furkastraße. A short stretch along the road is followed by a right turn at Gerstaböda and, after a few minutes, the trail then reaches the Leuesteg bridge across the Frutz, which is followed after that by the ascent through the forest to the Untere Leuealpe (1130 m). It then follows the Netschelweg (beautiful biker trail), past the Untere Probstalpe, until, after a sweeping left-right loop, it reaches the Bädle (inn Bad Laterns, 1160 m) with its beautiful fish pond. It continues along the road for 200 metres before branching off into the Garnitzatal valley after the bridge. The alpine area presents itself after a short ascent. The trail continues along the alpine road to the Hintere Garnitzaalpe (1270 m), across the footbridge and then up along the gorge to the Untere Saluveralpe (1570 m). It then follows the signpost for ‘Gapfohlalpe’ until it reaches the pass at Fürkili (1660 m). This part of the trail presents the opportunity to make a detour to the Falben (1793 m). The trail then leads back across the Gapfohlalpe past the chairlift’s mountain station (1540 m) and then down through the woods to the starting point.
