Hora 2372 m

From the square north of the church, go up the village lane until above the village. From there, the path leads southeast, north of a small brook, steep, rocky, and almost without bends up the slope. In some steep hairpin bends, after crossing a farm road, you climb the slope covered with light stones below the Wissflua. The path then becomes less steep and leads northeast through shrubs and coniferous forest, then in steep curves to the height of the summer pasture Riefa (1642 m).

You continue hiking on the alpine path, through the Riefawald below the Horn, and after numerous bends reach Pradatsch (1953 m). Beautiful views downstream to the Tödi chain as well as upstream to Zerfreila and numerous mountain peaks of the Adula massif.

At the signpost at Pradatsch, you can see a marking (white-red-white) towards the southeast. Following the mountain trail markings, you reach the Hora summit (2372 m) after about 1.5 kilometers. Descent: via the same route.

Ascent: 3 hr 45 min (only Pradatsch-Hora: 1 hr 15 min). Descent from Hora to the village: 3 hr.

Total walking time: 6 hr 45 min.
