Description
Enjoyable winter hike to the entrance of the Dalaschlucht, to the source of the healing springs and the rustic Buljes restaurant.
The circular walk begins in the middle of the village. It runs from the village square to the place called “Heilbad,” where three important thermal springs emerge. The winter hike leads over the Mantschetgraben past a beautiful waterfall towards Leischer, where a small footbridge crosses the Dalaschlucht. Heading south, you will finally reach the very inviting and rustic Buljes restaurant. Enjoy the strong winter sun and the view over Leukerbad before returning to the village towards Heilbad.
