Vättis - Salaz - St.Margrethenberg

At the Cholhüttenau sports field, the path initially leads through dense beech forest via the Schröter huts to the hunting lodge on Guaggis. Over partly open alpine meadows and sparse fir forest, we reach Alp Salaz on a slight incline. Alp Salaz is a fertile high terrace above the deeply incised Tamina Valley. There is an almost vertigo-inducing view down to the village of Vättis. Less frightening is the view to the south into the Rhine Valley and Prättigau. On the steep mountain flanks of the Calanda massif, Switzerland's first wolf pack has been at home again since the extinction of the wolf in the 19th century.
