Description
Gnarled trees of Swiss stone pine frame the path, larches rustle in the wind. The trail initially follows the treeline before plunging into a mysterious landscape, home to all kinds of pioneers. Ever since the retreat of the Findel Glacier more than 100 years ago, new plant species have arrived, one after the other, and struggled to establish a stronghold.
View of many 4,000-metre peaks including the Matterhorn
Appropriate for children from age 6
Leisee lake recommended for families: swimming, play raft on lake, playground, barbecue sites
