POI details

In St. Niklaus, cross under the railway tracks through the tunnel and follow the signpost. The trail leads you steadily uphill through the refreshing larch forest. After about 1.5 km, cross under the gondola again and keep left on the forest path towards Sparru and Jungtal. The path through the larch forest runs uphill in serpentines and becomes stonier until you reach 2361 metres above sea level.
