Blinnenhorn route

The Blinnenhorn towers at the far end of the Blinnental, which leads south from Reckingen. The immediate surroundings of the mountain impress with their magnificent glaciation. Around the large, cold mountain of Goms are several secluded side valleys, such as the Blinnental, Vallone di Nefelgiù, or Rappental, as well as the inhabited valleys – Goms, Binntal, and on the Italian side Pomatt (Val Formazza).

Worth seeing are the still largely intact mountain villages. The two old trade routes over the Gries Pass and the Albrun Pass connect the Goms with the Italian Pomatt and the Veglia-Devero Nature Park. Today, the mountain valleys face depopulation, a fate that is not new. Already in the 12th and 13th centuries, Goms was one of the starting points for the Walser emigration.

The numerous lakes, alpine pastures with their diverse flora, and various rock formations make the charm of the magnificent mountain landscape: the alluvial landscape Bättelmatt, the Oxefeld, a moorland of national importance, the deep blue reservoirs Lago Vannino, Lago di Morasco and Lago di Sabbione, as well as rocks in the most diverse colors and shapes.
