Walser settlement of St. Martin

The former Walser settlement of Sankt Martin lies peacefully in the middle of the Calfeisen valley, nestled in a picturesque landscape. It's as if time has stood still here and you feel like you're in an open-air museum: small wooden houses, a watermill, gravel paths, flower pots, the Chirchli and a restaurant with fresh bread from the wood-fired oven - the charm and romance of this little village alone are worth a visit. The journey over the mighty wall of the Gigerwald reservoir and along its banks is an experience in itself. While the rock faces of the reservoir rise steeply into the air, the Calfeisen valley becomes more open again behind Sankt Martin. The end of the Calfeisen Valley is marked by Piz Sardona, the namesake of the UNESCO World Heritage Site Tectonic Arena Sardona.
