Tour description

An exciting route into Switzerland and a journey through geological history in the border region of Gargellen

On this cross-border hike, you experience a breathtaking panorama. At the beginning, the Madrisa massif, from the Gafierjochle the Rätschenfluh, which lies directly in front of you. Impressive are also the views towards the Sulzfluh mountain massif or the Rätikon and down to St. Antönien.

Here you experience geological history up close. You walk along the border between dark gneiss and light limestone. The younger limestone from the Penninic Ocean is overlain by older rock layers. During the folding of the Alps, this lower limestone layer was pushed upwards and exposed by glaciers and erosion.
