BERGaktiv guided hike at the avalanche path Blons

Friday 9:00 o'clock

The avalanche disaster has changed much. A hike through the history and transformation of the valley.

Description

In 1954, the largest avalanche disaster in the valley occurred. Blons was heavily affected by the avalanches. In recent years, a lot has happened in the village. Alongside many new houses with great architecture – starting from the community center and the avalanche documentation center located within it – the development of the village since the 1954 disaster is explained. You will hike on the Leusorgweg to Oberblons. An old Walser house will be visited. Over Eschtobel, the trail continues to the photovoltaic plant and back via Valentschina. The information boards along the way remind us of the avalanche disaster from back then.
