    Wunderschöne Wanderung durch die wohl pflanzenartenreichsten und buntesten Almen, durch die ich vermutlich je gewandert bin. Außerdem eine tolle Gondelbahn, betrieben durch engagierte und nette Freiwillige, ebenso wie die empfehlenswerte Berggäststätte an der Bergstation. Bitte Gondelfahrt reservieren!

    Das Bähnli unbedingt vorher reservieren. Es verkehrt alle 15 Minuten, aber bietet nur Platz für jeweils 8 Personen. Falls man nach der Wanderung zu früh wieder beim Bähnli ist, kann man im Restaurant noch etwas trinken oder essen. Sie akzeptieren allerdings nur Bargeld. Die Angestellten sind sehr freundlich. Das Bähnli kostet CHF 18.- retour und kann mit Karte bezahlt werden. Die Wanderung ist eine Mischung aus Fuhr- und kleinen Wanderwegen. Bei gutem Wetter hat man vom Vilanspitz perfekte Sicht in alle Richtungen. Der Rundweg brachte nicht wirklich viel Neues, darum würde ich es beim nächsten Mal evtl beim Bergspitz belassen. Ich benötigte ca. 3.5h für den Rundweg ohne Mittagspause, bin ziemlich fit, einfach für die Berechnung. ;)

    je nach Wahl der Wege in der Weinregion um Malans gestalten Sie sich die Ausflüge als einfache Spaziergänge und leichte Wanderungen mit viel Genuss und Einkehrmöglichkeiten in den Torkeln und Restaurants. Ideal zum Übernachten ist das Guesthouse Scadena, Scadenaweg 2 in Malans.

    Even during a cold winter, the Bündner Herrschaft is wonderful. And the wines are worth it.
