Start behind the Safran restaurant and follow the road north. After a short time, leave the road and turn left onto the hiking trail. Follow the path on a slight incline until it then descends again at the Sättli and leads down to the hamlet of Chastler. From there, the path leads along the Valais steppe and pine trail back to the starting point at the Salwald restaurant.
The path can also be walked well in the opposite direction.

Despite the "unmissable" marking of the hiking trails, we recommend always carrying an appropriate hiking map for safety reasons, so that you can quickly find a safe area, for example, in case of a thunderstorm or emergency.
Especially in autumn, care must also be taken that the fallen leaves on the ground can conceal unevenness, roots, stones, or holes in the path. After storms, there may still be falling trees or branches. Especially in adverse weather conditions, nature trails can have muddy and slippery sections. You must expect these kinds of path impairments when you go hiking.
Sturdy footwear, weather-appropriate clothing, sun and rain protection, as well as sufficient supplies of food and drinks are recommended in case there are no possibilities to stop for food or shopping or they are closed. Although the path is very well marked throughout, you should always carry a suitable hiking map for safety reasons.
Enjoy a refreshment at the Salwald restaurant.
