Etappe 18: Alte Sennerei am Strassberg im Fondei, Walter Gadient am Käsen
A steep ascent leads up the Schlappintobel and through the forest into the Saas Alpine region. On the Rätschenjoch, sweeping views open up to the north and south. Scattered settlements are reminders that the Walser people cultivated inhospitable and remote areas in the late Middle Ages.

Details

Description

From Langwies we hike to the Sapüner Steg and from there on the old footpath through the wild Fondeier gorge, past the sunbaked wooden houses at Stutz to the beautiful alpine settlement of Strassberg. The Fondei high valley lies before us in all its splendor. Here the Walser once settled all year round. Today, this is hardly imaginable anymore.
