Vilan circular route

You can reach the starting point of the hike from Malans by the Älplibahn, which is operated and supported by volunteers. The aim is not profit-oriented but to preserve the railway for summer operation. The ascent to the Vilan summit first passes through a wooded section, then over picturesque alpine landscapes and later along a beautiful mountain path. The popular summit offers a magnificent panorama of the Rhine Valley, the Churfirsten, and other well-known mountains such as Piz Bernina, Piz Kesch, Piz Linard, and Ringelspitz. From the summit, the descent and return path follows a well-marked trail eastwards along the ridge to Sadreinegg and continues over Alp Sadrein to the Luvadina pasture fountain with a wonderful view over the Prättigau. Through open forest, the hiking trail later joins the alpine road, which climbs to Jeninser Obersäss and from there leads back to the Älplibahn mountain station.
