Safety instructions: Sure-footedness is required. The tour is not suitable for small children.
Tips: At weekends from July to October the alpin Beverin bus runs from Wergenstein up to the Anorosa Alp (Tguma car park). With this possibility the walk can be shortened by a few kilometres and especially a lot of elevation. www.busalpin.ch

In Wergenstein the visit to the Capricorn exhibition is worthwhile as a warm-up for the ibex-dominated walk.
