From Stalden, you can reach Gspon in a few minutes by aerial cableway. From the mountain station, it’s a short and steep ascent to the football field. From there, the path continues on a wide trail with a few curves at an altitude of about 2,000 meters. From there, it continues on a great trail section to just before the "Sädolti" area. Here, you have to master two very challenging climbs. Next, it goes briefly downhill to the "Sitgrabe" and then rises slightly to the "Sitestafel." From here, it continues left to the "Giw" mountain station. From "Giw," the rooty trail follows the old toboggan run downhill and ends on the "Kappellenweg" through a dense forest section down to Visperterminen. The alpine village Visperterminen is known for its culinary specialties and the impressive historic buildings. The circular route leads through the old village part towards Hohbiel to the hamlet Unnerbrunnu and from there on a beautiful trail with one climb and a short descent up to Riedji. From Riedji, you still have to overcome about 400 meters of elevation on the forest road back to the starting point in Gspon. If you prefer, you can also take the train from Staldenried to Gspon. As a crowning conclusion to the route, a visit to the Alpenblick restaurant in Gspon is recommended.
