"A cold bath and pure nature"

A wonderful trailrun into the "Uisters Valley" up to the Blauseeli at the foot of the white Petersgrat, which provides pure nature. Those who have the courage can also go for a swim.

After about 80m elevation gain, leave the high trail and turn right into the "Uisters Valley". The valley is quiet, wild, and the experience of nature unique. The first 400 meters of elevation are not too steep and follow along the creek. Then it goes steeply through scree for the last 300m up to the lake. The Blauseeli lies amid a rocky landscape and is an enchanting place. Down you go along the same path back to Fafleralp.
