- Description
-
Hiking and learning interesting new things at the same time - that's a tour to our taste! In this particular case - on the Falera Planet Trail - you will learn interesting facts about our solar system. Seven and a half kilometres that are a real experience, and not just for the youngsters.

It starts in the centre of Falera. From here, the route leads via Larnags to Laax-Murschetg. Or in other words: once from the fixed star Sun to the planet Pluto. That corresponds to a distance of almost six billion kilometres. But don't worry, you don't have to cover quite that many today: with a scale of 1:4 billion, you cover four million kilometres in the universe with every metre on the Planet Trail.
And there's plenty to discover along the way: Sun, Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto - all depicted in the form of unique sculptures. As you wander through the solar system, you won't even realise how time flies. And in no time at all, you're at the idyllic Lake Laax, where you can treat yourself to a proper dip at the end of your tour. When you're ready, complete the loop back to Falera.
