The Fundres Valley Path accompanies us on our expedition in the lower Val di Fundres valley. A nice and pleasant walking tour

Starting at the train station of Vandoies we cross the village centre of Vandoies di Sotto (Niedervintl). Behind the Raiffeisenbank the valley path starts (marker no. 4). It comfortably proceeds along the Rio Fundres brook without any considerable ascents. For a short section it follows the asphalt road to Serga and joins again the farm track towards Vallarga.
After 3 km we reach the village of Vallarga (Weitental) which is now surrounded by blooming meadows. The most striking building in this village is the St. Thomas Church. The Fundres Valley Path proceeds further along the brook and crosses it at the level of Hinterdrittel. Now an approximately 2 km long section along the Val di Fundres Road follows. Unfortunately there is no pavement and we have to walk at the roadside, but the traffic volume is very low.
At the farms of Scaleres (Schaldern) we find a hiking path again, this time on the eastern valley side before we reach our destination, the village of Fundres. To return we take the public bus, which operates every hour on weekdays.
Please note: an approx. 2 km long section follows the main road of the Val di Fundres valley. Please pay attention to the (low) traffic!
