Directions

Public transport: The gondola lift takes you from the Ried-Brig valley station to Rosswald in around 7 minutes. From the mountain station, walk along the Saflischmatte ski lift for around 30 minutes until you reach the fireplace at the junction of the summer trail and the Saflischmatte - Stafel circular trail, 20 meters to the right of the ski lift.
Arrival by car: In summer, it is possible to drive up to Rosswald by car, but we recommend that you do not arrive by car. Instead, you can park your car at the valley station and take the gondola lift up to Rosswald in around 7 minutes.
