Tips from the Community

Olivier Meyer
August 17, 2025, Zervreila Dam and View of Zervreilahorn

Start at the Vals cable car. The gondola is free in summer. A simple but beautiful hike through the raised moor. At the Zervraila reservoir, return to Vals by scooter. These can be rented at the restaurant at Lake Zervraila. You return to the cable car parking lot.

The cable car to Gadastatt runs completely free in summer - even without a guest card. Where else is that? Amazing!
