Griesalp

Highlight • Mountain Hut

The journey by postal bus through the beautiful Kiental valley is a highlight in itself. For those who prefer not to take the bus up steep climbs along narrow roads clinging to rock faces, the ascent through the Griesschlucht gorge is a great alternative. This allows you to enjoy the many waterfalls in peace and quiet, and you'll have certainly earned a refreshing break at the Griesalp.

Alp Gamchi

Highlight • Mountain Hut

At 1,672 metres above sea level, Alp Gamchi is a wonderful alpine farm where you can eat delicious cheeses produced on site. The local products are even better after a family walk in this beautiful alpine environment.

Highlight • Viewpoint

Park at Griesalp and head towards the Gspaltenhornhütte SAC (Swiss Alpine Club). It is beautifully situated amidst a magnificent mountain landscape at 2455 meters.
