Description

The flat terrain in the valley floor at Täsch is perfect for beginners and relaxed cross-country fans. The trail snakes to the clubhouse of the golf club and then runs parallel to the railway line back to Täsch. If this round isn’t enough, there are several options to add extra loops along the way. A little further down the valley – near the golf club – you can either run back directly to Täsch or first cross the Vispa and then do a lap there.

Author's recommendation

It is especially beautiful on the cross-country trail when it has just freshly snowed and the cold causes the snow to stick to the trees – then the landscape looks like a winter fairy tale.
