Route Information
This hike is a combination of Via Alpina stage 2 and WALSA trail stages 1 & 2. It goes from Vilters through the Rütiwald to Weisstannen.
There you will also get one of the coveted stamps - so make sure you have your “Via Alpina hiking pass” with you :) If necessary, you can order it for FREE at https://www.myswitzerland.com/en-ch/experiences/summer-autumn/hiking/via-alpina/via-alpina-hiking-passbook/.
Unlike the "original" Via Alpina stage 2, the trail does NOT start in Sargans but in Vilters!
The altitude profile of the hike is quite gentle. As it only goes up to 1,200m, snow should no longer be an issue.
By car: somehow… Note that it might be difficult to get back to the car in the evening. Very much suggested to use public transport!
By public transport:
Bus stop at start point: Vilters, Oberdorf
Bus stop at end point: Weisstannen, Oberdorf
