  • Höhenprofil

    An incredible mountain panorama awaits you on the Falvkopf, above Blons and part of the Walserkamm.

    From the center of Blons, the hiking trail leads to Oberblons and from there further up to Hüggenalpe. From here it is not far to the summit of the Falvkopf at 1,849 m above sea level. The first part of the way back goes along the Falvkopf circular path before you return to Blons via the same path. Alternatively, you can also hike back to Blons via Valentschina.

    On the way to the Falvkopf, you will be travelling on the Blons avalanche paths - memorial paths to the avalanche disaster of 1954. From the village to Oberblons on the Leusorgweg, continue on the Schutzwaldweg and from Hüggen to the summit on the Verbauungsweg.
