377 Rheinwald villages route (Splügen-Medels-Nufenen-Hinterrhein)

The starting point of the hike is Splügen. Below the bridge, the path goes to the right; instead of the cantonal road, the path follows the parallel quiet riverside path. Along the bank of the Hinterrhein, you reach the Sand campsite with the cross-country skiing center. Here the path goes for five minutes along the cantonal road and then ascends slightly to the right, parallel to the cross-country ski trail.
Where the winter hiking trails branch off, continue ascending. After varied ups and downs, you reach Medels – the smallest village in the valley. The hike continues through the village, past the church, and onwards towards Nufenen.
On the sunny side of the valley, continue towards Nufenen. There you see the Rheinwald, which is interwoven with an attractive network of wonderful cross-country ski trails. At the first houses of Nufenen, leave the ski trail and reach the village center via the paved village street.
From Nufenen, the path continues to Hinterrhein. After the last houses in Nufenen, a beautiful winter path begins uphill and downhill through the Cassanawald. At the first house in Hinterrhein, the path merges into the cantonal road, on which you reach the village center five minutes later.
Returning to Splügen is comfortable by PostAuto.
