Walserweg, Stage 13/19

Round-timber construction in Monstein and on Oberalp. Across the pastureland of the former «Meder» (hay meadows) on Fanezfurgga. The trail leads through the fossil-rich Ducan area, to the waterfall and Sertig village. «Hinter den Eggen» Church dating from 1699.

From Monstein, the mountain trail initially climbs across meadows and pastures to the Oberalp. At OberalpTraum, the village is finally left behind, and the long ascent continues into open, increasingly barren terrain. After a good two hours, the route reaches the Fanezfurgga. The pass lies at around 2,580 m and, close to the Chrachenhorn, also marks the highest point of the hike.

Beyond the Fanezfurgga, the long descent into the Sertigtal begins. Rocky terrain gradually gives way to alpine pastures again; around the Sertig waterfall, the valley drops steeply. The white-red-white waymarked mountain trail also demands care on the descent and eventually leads to the first houses.

Shortly before the destination, the Walserhuus stands directly on the route. A little later, Sertig Dörfli is reached, with its Reformed church. The Sertig, Dörfli bus stop is right by the endpoint, after around twelve kilometres and just under five hours.
