The fitness trail leads through the forest area along the Wildibach river between Täsch and Randa. The route is shady.
The fitness trail is an enjoyable fitness circuit for jogging enthusiasts. The lush forest on either side of the Wildibach river offers a beautiful setting for exercise. The route is varied, leading over grass, tree roots and around boulders, stopping at fitness stations at the prettiest locations in the mixed mountain woodland.
- Grippy trail surface, slippery only in very few places
- Pleasantly shady
Author’s recommendation
Don’t forget to take along something to drink, since it is certain that you will work up a sweat during one or the other exercise.
