- Start: Valley station chairlift Grimmialp
- Destination: Valley station chairlift Grimmialp
This is an easy hike that mainly descends. In summer, you can admire the numerous alpine flowers in full bloom, buy fresh alpine cheese in the alpine hut, and after the steep descent, do the Grimmimutz trail. To reach the starting point, you first have to go up with the chairlift. Then the route leads across the alpine pasture to the forest. Then it continues along the forest edge. The panoramic path also leads over a peat bog. A rather steep descent begins from the Grimmi mountain hut. This part of the trail is also accompanied by small waterfalls. After a few hundred meters, you join the Grimmimutz adventure trail. You can decide whether to follow the circular trail to the left or right. In both directions, there are play stations for children, such as bowling, climbing wall, and water tower. A fire pit with picnic tables is located next to the memory game. When you then return to the valley station of the chairlift, you can make a short detour to the turquoise blue pond "Blauseeli".
