Vordere Schmiedenmatt Restaurant

Highlight • Restaurant

Slightly higher than the large alpine Schmiedenmatt is the restaurant Schmiedenmatt. Eveline and Koni Schön run the restaurant. From the terrace you can enjoy the view over the large alp accompanied with the calming tinkling of the bells of the grazing cows and cattle. Wonderful are the Älplermacronen. Bikers are welcome. Rest day is Monday and Tuesday.

Gschliff Suspension Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

The hiking trail to or from the Hofbergli was closed for a long time and led to a detour that was not quite ideal. But the rockfall is now history, because the suspension bridge now makes the arduous detour child's play.

Balmberg Pass Summit

Highlight • Mountain Pass

The Balmberg is particularly notorious for its extremely steep approach from Welschenrohr. There, the asphalt climb climbs approximately 400 meters with gradients of up to 25%. From Günsberg, it's considerably easier – in comparison – but still a real fitness test!
