On this quite demanding tour, you will enjoy magnificent views of the mountains of the Grosses Walsertal Biosphere Park and move through the Faludriga-Nova core zone.
Description
This hike starts at the hikers' car park in Marul and leads you at the beginning along the Marul forest adventure trail to the Lower Nova Alpe. There the trail branches off and leads across meadows and through forests up to the Obere Nova Alpe and on to the Fürkele. At Fürkele, a fabulous view opens up towards the alpine area of Alpe Faludriga. Now the trail descends slightly over alpine meadows to Faludriga Alpe. A mountain path now leads through the Faludriga-Nova nature reserve up to the Schwarze Furka. From there it is only downhill to the Upper and Lower Laguzalpe. Here you can stop for a break during the summer months. The hikers' bus then takes you comfortably back to Marul.
