Description
You can reach the starting point of the hike from Malans on the Älplibahn, which is operated and supported by volunteers. The aim is not to make a profit, but to maintain the cable car for summer operation. The ascent to the Vilan summit first takes place through a wooded section, soon over picturesque alpine landscapes and later on a beautiful mountain path. The popular summit destination offers a magnificent panorama of the Rhine Valley, the Churfirsten and other well-known mountains such as Piz Bernina, Piz Kesch, Piz Linard and Ringelspitz. From the summit, the descent and return is along the well-marked path on the ridge eastwards to Sadreinegg and on via Alp Sadrein to the Luvadina pasture fountain with a magnificent view over the Prättigau. The hiking trail later leads through sparse forest to the alpine road, which climbs up to Jeninser Obersäss and from there leads back to the Älplibahn mountain station.
