Directions

The hike starts at the tourism office in Gargellen. Shortly into the valley, the path immediately turns right. First, we follow the road going up in switchbacks before reaching a trail which we follow to Alpe Rongg. From the alpine pasture, we continue towards Lower Alpe Röbi – those who want can make a detour to Upper Alpe Röbi, where you are rewarded with a breathtaking panorama. From Lower Alpe Röbi the path goes downhill towards Gargellen and soon becomes a wider gravel road. Through the forest, we reach our starting point in about 30 minutes.
