Description

At the lighthouse the path leads slightly downhill along the pass road.

After about 600 meters we cross the road, after which the road widens.

You are now on the former railway line of the Matterhorn Gotthard Bahn, which used to run open around the flank of Piz Calmot.

Today, however, the train disappears for the most part in a tunnel, a little later in a half-open gallery.

If there's a sudden buzzing and rumbling, don't be scared.

There's a train en route.

Where the train leaves the tunnel again you cross a viaduct over a rushing mountain stream.

Zigzag along a meadow path to Tschamut, the first village on the young Rhine. We're moving to the other side of the Rhine.

On a wide and comfortable path, through woods and pastures, we reach the playground "Fontauna", below Rueras.

You cross the Vorderrhein, pass the campsite Rueras and go up to the village.

Here you cross the main road and walk properly station Sedrun. equipment Good hiking boots with good profile, clothes adapted to the weather (rain jacket/sun protection), change of clothes, first aid kit, drink, food, hiking poles if necessary.
