Wildmännli-Trail

The digitalized circular hike in Klosters
Wildmännli-Trail in Klosters

The new web app: Wildmännli-Weg in Klosters

Klosters, Schlappin, Serneus: It doesn't always have to be 1000 meters of altitude and steep mountain peaks. On the Wildmännli Trail, the journey is the destination. It combines existing hiking trails into a circular tour. Explore all 50 stations and immerse yourself in the holiday resort - in its history, flora and fauna.

Seven stages in Klosters are combined and digitized into a circular hike. Happiness factor number one: With every station you visit, you collect points that you can exchange for a gift. Happiness factor number two: To broaden your horizons while hiking in Klosters, you don't necessarily have to go on a summit tour. The climb into the Schlappintal is scenic and, at 400 meters in altitude, only moderately steep. The first Walser settlement in the Prättigau was built here. Flatter sections, which are ideal for excursions and hikes with children, lead over the Zwergen- or Gadäwäg. 50 stations on seven stages are waiting to be scanned.

Can be split into several days

A new day, a new path: The 40-kilometer-long Wilmännli path is ideal for completing over several days. Luck factor number three: This gives you time to enjoy the landscape, stop for a break and watch a video or two at a station. Tip: On the village tour, start anti-clockwise towards the Zwergen- and Gadäwäg. You can then redeem the first voucher for the second stage on the way. Have fun on your journey of discovery through Klosters.

Sieben Etappen kurz vorgestellt

  • 01

    village tour in Klosters

    Wildmännli-Weg in Klosters

    Ready for a journey through time in Klosters? Nine stations reveal cultural history, focus on buildings and take you to the local museum "Nutli Hüschi". The Evangelical Reformed Church of St. Jakob is worth a visit to take a look at the stained glass windows of the famous painter Augusto Giacometti.

    Zwergenweg

    Wildmaennli-Weg_Klosters_Wandern-c-Hitsch_Photography

    Legendary things are hidden at the eight stations on this hike. This is also the case at Doggiboden. The story of the "Doggi" was widespread. The demonic spirits shrank in size in order to sneak into the bedroom through the keyhole and cause nightmares. Not only legends await you, but also information about the protected forest and natural hazards.

  • 03

    Gadäwäg

    Wildmännli-Weg in Klosters

    The third stage of the round trip leads to Monbiel, among other stops. The Walser village is the furthest settlement in the Prättigau with the Pardenn, Garfiun and Novai Alps. Find out more about Monbiel, rockfalls, agriculture, poaching and early forms of social welfare at the five stations along the Sonnenberg in Klosters. Tip: Stop off at Mimi's Bäsmäbeizli "Hennägadä".

  • 04

    Schlappin

    Schlappin

    Looking at the Schlappiner Joch, it is clear: the border to Gargellen, which lies in a side valley of the Montafon, is within reach. This stage does not go as far up, but the Walser village of Schlappin at around 1600 m above sea level is no less charming. Ten stations provide information about the flora and fauna of the valley and about hunting in Klosters. Tip: take a break at the Schlappinersee.

  • 05

    Dörfij-Pagrüeg

    Schlappinbach Hängebrücke in Klosters

    Forgot your sunscreen? Nature provides the best first aid kit. Did you know that alpine sorrel helps against sunburn and plantain helps against insect bites? In this section you will learn more about the healing effects of wild herbs. And the stage offers a deep insight: it leads to the Sunniberg Bridge and the 70-meter-long suspension bridge over the Schlappinbach.

    Saas nature trail

    Wildmännli-Weg in Klosters

    If the copper beeches along the path could speak, what stories would they tell? Perhaps the story of the Graubünden Freedom Fight of 1622, in which the local troops suffered a bitter defeat against the Habsburgs. Or perhaps the tale of the Häxentobel, where witches and warlocks supposedly met to dance and perform devilish rites.

    Serneus to Klosters

    Kletterpark «Sunnibergbrücke Climbing» in Klosters

    This stage leads via Serneus. During a stop at the Sunniberg bridge, you can catch a glimpse of the Silvretta massif, which played an important role for Klosters. In 1865, the Swiss Alpine Club declared the Silvretta region an excursion area, and in the same year Klosters built the first Silvretta hut. Numerous first ascents followed: Piz Buin, Silvrettahorn and Signalhorn.

Bonus-Information: Namensgeber des Weges

The stories about the Wildmännli are among the most popular legends of the Walser. The dwarf-like little creature lives in remote valleys and forests. As shy as it is, anyone who deliberately annoyed it or betrayed it incurred its wrath.
