This loop immerses you in the forest located above Chandolin. Start this route by climbing the ski slope before turning off and going into the Chandolin forest. This gentle path leads you into a peaceful landscape, to the hamlet of "Pramarin." The path climbs winding through chalets to a trail branching off to the right taking you to the Illhorn ski slope. From this point, a magnificent panorama of the mountains at the bottom of the valley opens up to you. Below, you can see the Illhorn hut. Don’t hesitate to stop there for a well-deserved break to refresh yourself on its panoramic terrace. Resume the route by climbing the slope and continue your way to the Chandolin alp. The path then continues on a forest road to the junction with the ski slope, which brings you back to the village.
OUR ADVICE
Plan a well-deserved break on the beautiful terrace of the Illhorn hut. The view over the valley and multiple 4000-meter peaks is splendid.
