251 Thalkirch - Z'Hinderst Safiental

If you are at the very back of the wintry, secluded Safiental valley, you will soon be surrounded by a relaxing sense of tranquillity. The wide valley floor is framed by imposing mountains such as the Wisshorn, Schwarzhorn and Gelbhorn. At times you feel like you are in an amphitheater. The winter hiking trail starts in Thalkirch, Turra and winds along the valley floor to z'Hinderst, as it is also called there. Before your eyes is an imposing rock face, which is used by daring athletes for ice climbing.

Along the way, you can always enjoy a beautiful view of the scattered Walser settlements typical of the Safiental. The view extends as far as the Camaner huts, which form contrasting dots in the snow like a string of pearls.

In the Turra exhibition stables of the Safier Stables Association, you can learn interesting facts about the settlement of the Safiental and the wooden buildings and stables typical of the valley. You can even try your hand at shingling a roof yourself.
