The crossing of the historic Valserberg from Vals to Hinterrhein offers unique insights into the spectacular mountain world of the rear Peiltal valley.
Immediately after the start at the Dorfplatz, the first steep ascent is tackled. Shortly afterwards, the hiking trail is reached, which leads past the Rongg chapel and the "Abersch Hus" into the Peiltal valley. Further inland and now ascending less steeply, the Maiensäss settlement "Uf der Matta" is passed and finally, located directly above Inder Peil, the Stafel of Alp Wallatsch is reached. The view now opens to the impressive mountain landscape of the Fanella and the path leads evenly over the alpine meadows. The increasingly rocky terrain coincides with the sparse aesthetics of the historic military installations located below the Valserberg. Upon reaching the pass height, a wonderful view of Passo del San Bernardino and the surrounding peak world of the Valsertal and Rheinwald is offered. The following 900 meters of altitude descent to Hinterrhein can be mastered via well-developed single trails and alpine roads.
