Three circular hiking routes have been established in Rosswald for walkers and hikers. The routes are marked in three colors.

  • Blue: Bergwasser circular route
  • Red: Saflischwald circular route
  • Green: Rosswald circular route

On this hike, follow the red signposts. Start at the Rosswald mountain station heading east. The path leads you past the swimming pool into the forest. Follow the path towards Riedalpji until you meet the paved Rosswald road. Above the road, follow the hiking trail through the Saflischwald back towards Rosswald. If you want to hike a bit further, you can climb the zigzag path up to the summer piste. The hiking trail (and this additional loop) is well signposted. Now you have the option to walk back to the mountain station.
