The Ganter valley path was restored together with the Stockalperweg - ViaStockalper. It leads you through history, present and flora in a sunny position.

In the Middle Ages Ganter and Grund were a valley community inhabited all year round. First documentary mentions date back to the end of the 13th century. The hike through the historically, architecturally and botanically interesting Gantertal valley takes you past various sights.

Among other things, it is worth discovering:

The Gantertal - the diverse vegetation of the "Little Valais"
Old and New Ganter Bridge
Kalchofen
Old houses, barn and chapels
Iron mine in the Grund

Directions

In Schallberg, the valley path branches off from the Stockalperweg and runs eastward below the national road. Under the new Ganter Bridge, hikers can choose to climb up to the right or continue on to the old Ganter Bridge. Both paths meet at the southern end of the new Ganter Bridge. From here, the valley path climbs steadily until you reach Rothwald and Ganterwald. There is a short section along the national road before the path descends to the right and meets the Stockalperweg again in Mittubäch.
