On a green meadow terrace lies the small mountain village Obersays at 1100 meters above sea level. Already here the view to the opposite Calanda massif is magnificent. The higher we climb, the more impressive Chur's local mountain presents itself.

Description

Obersays can be easily reached by public transport, with four daily Postbus journeys making this possible. However, the trip must be booked by phone at least 1 hour before departure. The well-developed road also allows you to travel by private car. Right next to the post bus stop is an overview map of the area around the former Walser settlement of Stams. On the forest and alpine path we leave Obersays. At the Zazaschgrank car park we take the path in the direction of Spundätscha. At the end of the forest, the now narrow road leads to the left and quite steeply up across meadows to the Maiensäss Spundätscha.

The route continues between the houses and on the open pasture land in the direction of Zanutscher Boden. On the ascent, it's worth taking a look back from time to time. The view towards the Graubünden Oberland is becoming more and more fantastic. At the highest point of the hike at the Zanutscher Boden you can see the Dolomites of the Rätikon with the well-known peaks Falknis, Schesaplana, Drusenfluh and Sulzfluh.

This is followed by the descent over pastures and through the alder forest down to the former Walser village of Stams. The small mountain restaurant (open every day from the beginning of May to the end of October) invites you to linger and enjoy. At the Artimi viewpoint there is a special wooden monument in memory of the Poles interned here (1942 - 1944). Always following the alpine road, you will soon reach the starting point in Obersays.
