The start of this route is located at the village square in Leukerbad. Via an underpass of the thermal hotels, a lovely path rises through a small larch forest.

Soon you will reach the idyllically situated restaurant Weidstübli. If you wish, stop in and enjoy culinary delights before continuing the hike to Majingsee and arriving at the foot of the quiet Dala valley. The return is on the same route.
