Culinary Hike Brand

A hike leads you, accompanied by three culinary pleasure stations, through the breathtaking mountain world of the Brandnertal valley. The first enjoyment station awaits you at the Frööd restaurant on the Burtschasattel with a magnificent view of the Rätikon mountains and the Schesaplana, the highest peak in the region. After the first culinary highlight, the tour continues towards Palüd. On the way, you will enjoy fabulous views of the surrounding mountains and discover secrets of alpine nature and its inhabitants along the Natursprünge trail. Freshly invigorated by a cosy rest at Alpengasthof Melkboden, the trail leads back to the valley on foot or alternatively with the Palüd cable car and on to the sweet finish at Valavier Aktivresort.
