T18 Chastalet circular route

The name Gsteig was first mentioned in official documents in 1312 under the name Chastalet (watch, defense, and refuge tower). The 7 km hike takes us from Gsteig through Rohr to Dürri and further over the Längmatte to the castle. Here we reach the highest point of the hike. The return route to Gsteig leads us through the Rotengraben and Innergsteig. Various information boards and a brochure available at the tourist office tell us interesting facts about the community of Gsteig-Feutersoey.

From the castle, it is also possible to descend via the spectacular Burgfälle waterfalls into the valley. The mountain trail is well signposted and maintained, but at times a bit exposed. Good footwear is essential!
