From Davos, after the first ascent to Staffelalp and on to the crossing of Maienfelderfurgga. Wonderful view of Arosa. Descent into the valley.

Medergen: timber houses, burned brown by the sun cluster closely together at 2000 m altitude. Each house in Sapün is evidence of the times when Walser folk lived all year round in this «wild valley». Along the old summer trail to Langwies, once a centre for the Walsers in hinteren Schanfigg.

Author’s recommendation

Hiking without luggage with 5 overnight stays from Filisur to Langwies: CHF 849 in a double room with half board, luggage transport between the stages, packed lunch, the book "Walserweg Graubünden", travel documentation.
