Landscape | Der Grosse Walserweg

The great Walser Route

In this section you will find desprciptions of possible hiking-routes throughout Walser settlements in Northern Italy, Upper Valais, Tessin, Graubünden, Liechtenstein and Vorarlberg.

As the migration of the German speaking people from Valais, i.e. the Walser, was neither concentrated in regards to time or regions the following proposals connect various stations of this colonisation. They are not to be seen as routes of migration and the “Great Walser Route” is not the exact reflection of the Walser culture. In some places Walser characteristics like form of settlement, construction techniques, farming and character of the people can be rediscovered far away from the original homeland.

The single stages are mostly challenging one day distances requireing a certain experience and physical strenght. Adequate maps and good hiking equipment are absolutley assential. On the right hand side you can select the single routes.
