    The descent from the sunny mountain village of Valens into the gorge is an experience. The path leads down through quiet forests. Overhanging rock walls, the rushing of the Tamina and birdsong greet the hikers who have arrived below. It is worth visiting the only baroque spa building in Switzerland, the Old Bath Pfäfers, and putting your hand into the warm spring. The return is on the same path, heading towards the sunshine again.

    Author’s recommendation

    The restaurant on the ground floor of the Old Bath invites you to linger with a drink or a meal.
