Bärenhorn 2929m

Due to its special location, wonderful views of various Graubünden regions are offered. With its mighty scree slopes, the Bärenhorn forms the highest point of the long ridge that almost five kilometers downhill begins with Vals's local mountain, the "Höreli." Along the way, you will discover the mysterious nature of the remote high valley "Chli Tomül" and perhaps share the summit experience with the numerous chamois that like to stay there.  

For enduring hikers, an additional ascent of the Teischers (2688 m) with spectacular views of the Peil valley is recommended on the outward journey. 

By hiking bus from Vals up to the Riefawald parking lot (1820 m). Directly behind it begins the small access path to the official hiking route, which after a short steep section leads in 30 minutes to the idyllic clearing Pradätsch (1951 m) with a view of the Zervreilasee.

Following the now flatter path, the gorge of the Tomülbach soon opens up and gives the view of the impressive high plateau of Riedboda, crossed by meandering streams. After the steep ascent towards Alp Tomül (2181 m, 1 hour 15 minutes from Pradätsch), turn right just before crossing the bridge and ascend in 45 minutes over trails and past rushing waterfalls to point 2451.

With the summit in sight, the Bear Pass (Bärenlücke, 2530 m) is reached in 45 minutes following the river course over easy terrain, offering a magnificent view over the rear Safien valley. The ascent to the summit takes 45 minutes over a well-developed path on the northeast ridge.
