Wild waters and quiet floodplains – this UNESCO World Heritage Site at the end of the valley boasts many superlatives.
The nature reserve at Lake Tschingel is well worth a visit, and from here, the steepest post bus route in Europe winds its way up to 1400 metres (4593 ft.) above sea level. Griesalp itself offers a wide choice of hiking and theme trails, as well as alpine hotel accommodation.

Public transport
