Description

An easy - or in good Valaisan German - "larschi Rundi" - which is not without its physical challenges. The tour starts at the old railway station in Inden and gradually winds its way upwards on an asphalt and later gravel road over several 180° bends. The view of the majestic and steep rock face of the Tschajetuhoru is hard to beat. Once you have arrived at Alp "Larschi", you have mastered the approximately 500 metres in altitude. The route leads along an easy gravel road via "Kluscheten" to the idyllic hamlet of Bodmen. A stop for coffee and cake comes in handy here. From here, the route leads over an easy but fun trail passage towards "Russengraben" and back to Inden via the "Römerweg".
