The hiking trail through the Covatannaz Gorge is beautifully laid out and offers breathtaking views down into the Arnon River. More exposed sections are equipped with metal railings, making this easy hike suitable for families.

The hiking trail through the Covatannaz Gorge becomes very narrow here due to the terrain and leads directly along the high rock walls. Further down, or rather beside you, the Arnon stream rushes through the gorge. Over a distance of approximately three kilometers, it descends a difference in altitude of about 450 meters.

Small pass crossing. The road is narrow, so hikers have to be careful, as there was surprisingly heavy traffic during our hike on a Friday.
