The starting section leads over spectacular ladders, an ancient connecting route, into the sun-tanned village of Albinen with a superb location over the Dala gorge. The original hamlets of Brentschen, Engersch and Jeizinen also lie on the sunny slope and are connected by leisurely hiking trails.
Shortly after Leukerbad the route goes up the Albinen ladders. These are only suitable for persons who aren't afraid of heights. An alternative is to take the footpath through the car tunnel.
