Directions

The moderate hike starts at the mountain station of the Tafamuntbahn. The first ascent is taken care of by the gondola. The first place to stop for a break is located directly at the mountain station, the Tafamunt Stöbli. From the mountain station, you continue under your own power through the forest uphill. After leaving the forest, the view of the peaks of the Silvretta as well as the Silvretta High Alpine Road captivates. To better enjoy the panorama, viewing benches invite you to rest. With some luck, you can observe chamois a little below the Versalspitze, which you can see from the path, on the slopes. Soon after, you reach the enchanting Wiegensee, wonderfully embedded in the raised bog landscape. Through the beautiful raised bog landscape, the hiking trail now gradually leads northward into the wide landscape of the Verwall. Above the Verbellatal, it winds gently up and down to the managed Verbellaalpe (open only from late June to early September). You start the descent a little after the Verbellaalpe and hike serpentine-like down through the Ganifertal. You arrive at Inner- or Außerganifer. Straight ahead, it continues uphill over Frons back to Partenen.

Equipment

Good, ankle-high hiking boots with a good tread, sufficient provisions and drinks to take along, hiking poles recommended

Tips

Let your soul dangle with a stop at the Verbellaalpe.
