Turn-by-turn directions

The family route starts at the village square in Grächen heading downhill, then after 50 meters it turns slightly right towards the valley station of the Hannigalp gondola lift. At the valley station, the road curves to the right and then climbs. It is paved and after about 2 kilometers leads to the beautiful Grächener Lake with the refreshing Kneipp garden. Past the lake, an unpaved field road continues straight for about 600 meters to the Alpe Äpnet, where cows graze in summer. From Alpe Äpnet, it continues to the "Taa," where there is another Kneipp station. The route then leads through the forest to the "Egga" and back to the village. Simply a fantastic family experience.
