Description

Untervaz has a public transport connection with Chur every half hour and can be easily reached by car. The hike starts in the middle of the village (stop Untervaz Dorf) and leads via Vordergasse to the turn-off to the various Alps. We follow the signpost to the left in the direction of Fallboden and Hinteralp. At the Fallboden, turn left again through the forest to the Bärenhag. On the way we pass two short tunnels carved into the rock.

The alpine road from Bärenhag to the former Walser settlement of Batänja is a bit steep, but easy to walk. On Batänja (belonging to the municipality of Haldenstein) it is worth taking a break and taking in the view of the opposite mountains of the Rhine Valley. Unfortunately, there is no place to stop for refreshments.

The path now winds its way through the small settlement and on through forest and across meadows to the highest point of the hike on the Gürgütschboden. Now it goes downhill on the alpine path. Again and again there are wonderful views of the valley and the rock formations of the Rätikon. The last section from Fallboden back to the village is identical to the ascent route. Right next to the village square you will find the Linde restaurant, where you can wait comfortably for the next post bus.

Ausrüstung
