Description

An easy - or in local Wallis German - "larschi Rundi" - which is not exactly effortless in terms of fitness. The route starts at the old train station in Inden and slowly climbs via an asphalt and later gravel road over several 180° curves. The view of the majestic and steeply falling rock face of the Tschajetuhoru is hard to beat. Upon arrival at Alp Larschi, you have climbed about 500 meters in altitude. The route continues over an easy gravel road via Kluscheten to the idyllic hamlet of Bodmen. A stop for coffee and cake is well placed here. From here, the route leads over an easy but amusing trail towards Russengraben and over the Roman road back to Inden.
