Vals - authentic and genuine

We don't have a huge ski area with hundreds of kilometers of slopes, nor is Vals located directly at a freeway exit. But that is precisely what makes our village so special. The most beautiful places are often somewhat hidden - and those who come here will find peace and quiet and sometimes even a piste all to themselves. Or how about a walk through the glistening snow? Whatever you love: nature has given us a rich gift and we preserve it as it is - without artificial interventions such as artificially snow-covered mountains. We Valsers like to take a more relaxed approach to things and have consciously let some trends pass us by. But we are proud of what makes us special: real nature, authentic experiences and an atmosphere that invites you to stay.

Village tour in Vals - insight into tradition and way of life

Learn about the origins of the village and the special features of its culture and how the famous thermal spa has shaped the village. Our local guides know Vals like the back of their hand and share valuable insider knowledge and personal perspectives on life in Vals.

    Etwas strenger Aufstieg zum Start, aber immer wieder eine schöne Tour oder in der Gegenrichtung als Trail Running Runde. Es besteht die Möglichkeit den ersten Anstieg mit der Gondelbahn zu überwinden.

    Eine wunderschöne abwechslungsreiche Tour. Fast bei jeder Abfahrt sind Trails vorhanden. Bergauf ging häufig nicht ohne zu schieben oder auch zu tragen. Landschaftlich der Oberhammer, mit Erinnerungen für die Ewigkeit!

    Absolute Genusstour! Herrliches Panorama mit dem Stausee und dem wunderschönen Arvenwald. Sehr einfach, auch für Familien geeignet. Sehr untrainierte Biker oder kleine Kinder, können die Tour auch bei der Kappelle starten.

    Die fehlenden Infos zu den einzelnen Etappen: Tag 1: 72 km / 670 Hm Tag 2: 46 km / 1640 Hm Tag 3: 30 km / 1260 Hm Tag 4: 57 km / 1560 Hm Tag 5: 64 km / 1760 Hm Tag 6: 82 km / 1560 Hm Das macht in der Summe 8.454 Höhenmeter und damit mehr als in der Beschreibung angegeben. Das hatte ich bereits vorher so ermittelt und müsste deshalb auch zutreffend sein. Dabei sind wir einige kleine Abweichungen gefahren, durch die allerdings weniger Höhenmeter angefallen sind. Ansonsten eine sehr schöne und abwechslungsreiche Tour. Von kilometerweitem Radeln auf dem Rheinradweg bis zu hochalpinen Passagen. Uns als gewöhnliche Mittelgebirgsradler bzw. -innen war einiges zu schwer, anders als in der Beschreibung dargestellt.: Tag 3: Der Traum für Trailspezialisten war für uns kaum fahrbar, insbesondere auch weil er an dem Tag ziemlich nass war. Tag 4: Wir sind an einigen Stellen dem MTB-Weg 90, statt dem Track gefolgt, was meiner Meinung nach auch besser war. Tag 6: Der Aufstieg von der Alp Cristallina zum Passo del Naret war für uns grenzwertig. 650 Höhenmeter überwiegend Tragen. Wir waren erst um 17 Uhr 30 am Pass (nach ca. 20 km), aber zeitig genug um ca. 20 Uhr 30 an unserem Ziel in Ascona.
