Hohbüel 2462m

From Valé either directly and steeply via Balma or somewhat more comfortably on the conventional hiking path (old Zerfreilaweg) up to Inder Bord (1472 m, 30 min). Then continue uphill through the Marcheggawald to Heinisch Stafel above the tree line (2041 m, 1 hr 15 min). From there, follow the hiking trail for 45 min towards Selvasee until Hohbüel comes into view.

Finally, hike for another 45 min off-trail over easy terrain directly towards Hohbüel and ascend comfortably to the summit via the northeast ridge with magnificent views of the surrounding Valser mountains.

On the way back (2 hrs), turn off at Heinisch Stafel and hike down the valley to Inder Peil. Take the hiking bus back to Vals.

Solid, rainproof, warm clothing. Sturdy hiking or trekking boots. Gloves, hat, sun protection. Hiking poles, provisions and drinks from the backpack, first aid kit, topographic map, altimeter, compass, mobile phone, flashlight.

Requirements: For experienced hikers, technically an easy route (T3), which requires caution in wet, cold, and snowy conditions near the summit.

On this hike, expect to encounter cows with calves.
