Into the Enger Grund
Nordic walking

A walk against a backdrop of towering mountains.

A walk through the Enger Grund offers a thoroughly inspiring yet family-friendly mountain experience. The path winds its way along the crystal-clear stream, mostly on level ground rather than uphill, into a vast natural amphitheatre. In the green basin beneath the thousand-metre-high rock faces between the Spritzkar and Dreizinkenspitze peaks, a longer break to take in the views and enjoy the surroundings is a must. Young hikers will also find plenty to enjoy: the head of the valley, with its babbling spring streams and gently sloping flower-filled meadows, is a perfect adventure playground.
