    Wir haben die Tour Mitte August mit 2 Familien gemacht. Am ersten Tag gab es Regen und so haben wir die Bahn für die ersten Höhenmeter genommen. Die Hütten sind sehr einfach. Die Wege sind schön und meist einsam. Teilweise sind die Anstiege nicht ohne. Unbedingt die lange Tour machen. Die 3. Hütte hat eine wunderschöne Aussicht, etwas mehr Komfort und der letzte Tag mit den alten Lärchen und der Suone ist was ganz Besonderes. Man sollte Kühe mögen. Wir mußten jeden Tag durch die Weideflächen. Die Tour ist mit Verpflegung gebucht und so hatten wir jeden Tag ein tolles Picknick für unterwegs.

    Der Lärchenwald ist wirklich sehr eindrücklich, gerade bei Nebel ergibt sich eine sehr mystische Stimmung. Auch der Weg entlang der Suone ist märchenhaft.

    Wunderschöne Wanderung mit grossartiger Aussicht! Bis zum Stausee knapp unterhalb der Baumgrenze den Hang entlang auf einem schönen Pfad. Sehr guter Abstieg zum Stausee, der eine wunderschöne Farbe hat. Der Abstieg an der Staumauer sieht zwar steil aus, ist aber gut zu machen. anach dem Abstieg unbedingt den Pfad auf der westlichen Talseite nehmen - viel schöner als der Feldweg zum Turbinenhaus. Wir haben die Tour mit jeweils einer Kraxe/Kindertrage und 1 1/2 jährigen Kindern auf dem Rücken und mit Wanderstöcken gemacht. Die Tour ist gut zu machen, keine zu steilen Stellen, vorausgesetzt man hat Wanderstöcke. Weiss-rot-weisser Pfad, Trittsicherheit und gutes Schuhwerk sind wichtig, da die Tour entlang des Abhangs verläuft.

    Sehr gut zu wandern, aber rechnet etwas mehr Zeit ein beim Aufstieg. Besucht auch eines der beiden Restaurants vor der Umkehr.
