Walserweg, Stage 8/19

Prehistoric bowl stones at Arsiert, footpath beneath the waterfall of the Roflaschlucht gorge, Andeer granite: its green colour unmistakable. Arched bridge of natural stone on the Averserstrasse, evidence of mining activity and a landscape of glacier mills, rockfalls and forest.

From the post office in Andeer, the mountain trail leads out of the village and through Bärenburg into the forest. After the first ascent, Laj da Seara lies directly beside the route. Shortly afterwards, the path briefly leaves the marked hiking trail network before continuing once more as a mountain trail.

Between forest and open meadows, the route steadily gains altitude. At the Rofflafall, it passes very close to the plunging water; farther up the valley, it leads past Schmelzi. Just over halfway, the houses of Ausserferrera are reached. Beyond the village, the long ascent continues along wooded slopes and across alpine pastures.

In the final section, the highest point of the tour draws nearer. At around 1,510 m, the ascent eases shortly before Innerferrera. Near Lai da Innerferrera, the descent to the first houses begins. The route ends in the village, just a few steps from the Ferrera, Innerferrera bus stop.
