I wonder how the muleteers with their heavily loaded mules managed to cross the Aegina? On the way from Ulrichen to Ladstafel, Nufenen- or Griesspass nestled in the wild and romantic nature of the Aegina Valley, hikers today find the small but fine suspension bridge for easy crossing of the river. From here, the valley widens and the view opens up into the impressive valley basin, which is crowned by the huge wind turbines of Europe's highest wind farm. The magnificent stone bridge at “Ladstafel” was built in 1761. For the way back we recommend the courses of PostAuto.

Safety guidelines
Take a map with you or download the complete description of the route with a large-scale map. Use only signposted paths and observe all markings and signs - for your own safety, for the protection of the landscape and in respect for wildlife. Be considerate of other users. Take your rubbish and that of others with you.
Weather conditions in the mountains can change very quickly and without warning. Adequate clothing and provisions (food and drink) are very important. If the weather is unstable, it is better to turn around early.
Carry additional sun protection with you. UV rays at high altitudes can be very strong, even when the sky is overcast.
Plan your tour carefully and in detail. Inform yourself in advance about the current conditions and weather conditions. The summer report https://www.goms.ch/en/summer-sports-report provides you with valuable information from the region.
