From Stalden you can reach Gspon in a few minutes by cable car. From the mountain station it goes shortly and steeply to the football pitch. From there the path continues on a wide trail, with a few curves and an altitude of about 2,000 meters. From there it continues on a great trail section to just before the "Sädolti" area. Here you still have to master two very demanding climbs. Next, it goes briefly down to the "Sitgrabe" and then slightly uphill again to the "Sitestafel". From here it goes left continuing to the mountain station "Giw". From "Giw" the rooty trail leads along the old toboggan run down and finally on the "Kappellenweg" through a dense forest section to Visperterminen. The mountain village Visperterminen is known for its culinary specialties and the impressive historic buildings. The round tour leads through the old village part in the direction of Hohbiel to the hamlet Unnerbrunnu and from there on a nice trail with one ascent and a short descent up to Riedji. From Riedji you still have to overcome about 400 vertical meters on the forest road to the starting point Gspon. If you like, 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.
